Southern Accents Lyrics - Tom Petty

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 everyone's begun 

With a southern accent, where I come from
