Southern Accents

Southern Accents - Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers

There's a southern accent where I come from

The youngness call it country

The Yankees call it dumb

I got my own way of talking

But everything is done with a southern accent

Where I come from

Now that drunk tank in atlantes

Just a motel room to me

Think I might go work Orlando

If them orange groves don't freeze

I 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 mama comes to me

And kneels down over by the window

And says a prayer for me

I got my own way of praying

But everyone's begun

With a soul thorn accent

Where I come from

I got my own way of living

But everything gets done

With a southern accent

Where I come from
