TOM PETTY & THE HEARTBREAKERS - SOUTHERN ACCENTS



There's a southern accent - where I come from

The young 'uns call it country - the yankees call it dumb,

I got my own way of talking - but everything gets done,

With a southern accent - where I come from.



Now that drunk tank in Atlanta - is just a motel room to me,

Think I might go work Orlando - if them orange groves don't freeze,

Got my own way of working - but everything is run,

With a southern accent - where I come from.



For just a minute there I was dreaming

For just a minute it was all so real

For just a minute she was standing there - with me.



There's a dream I keep having - where my momma comes to me,

And kneels down over by the window - and says a prayer for me,

Got my own way of praying - but everything one's begun,

With a southern accent - where I come from.



Got my own way of living - but everything is done

With a southern accent - where I come from
