Artist/Band: Tom Petty
Lyrics for Song: Southern Accents
Lyrics for Album: Southern Accents [1985]



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 gets 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 work in 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 mamma 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 gets done

With a southern accent

Where I come from.
