Southern Accents Lyrics by Tom Petty

Southern Accents Lyrics

    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 talkin'
    But everything is done, with a southern accent
    Where i come from

    Now that drunk tank in atlanta's
    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 workin'
    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 prayin'
    But everyone's begun
    With a sou thern accent
    Where i come from

    I got my own way of livin'
    But everything gets done
    With a southern accent
    Where i come from
