Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers Southern Accents lyrics

There's a southern accent
Where I come from
The youngin's 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 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 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

I got my own way of praying
But everyone's begun
With a southern accent
Where I come from

I got my own way of living
But everything is done
With a southern accent
Where I come from
