"Southern Accents" lyrics
"Southern Accents"
(originally by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers)
There's a southern accent
Where I come from
The younguns call it country
The Yankees call it dumb
Got my own way of talkin'
But everything is done
With a southern accent
Where I come from, mm
Now that drunk tank in Atlanta
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, mm-mm
For just a minute there, I was dreamin'
For just a minute, it was all so real
For just a minute, she was standin' there with me
Mm-mm
In that dream that I keep havin'
My mama comes to me
And she kneels down over by the window
And she says a prayer for me
I got my own way of prayin'
And every prayer's begun
With a southern accent
Where I come from, mm-mm
Yes, I'm proud of who I am
A southern girl from a southern town
I ain't ashamed, I ain't ashamed, I ain't ashamed
No, I ain't, no, I ain't, no, I ain't
I got my own way of livin'
But everything gets done
With a southern, southern accent
Where I come from, mm-mm, mm-mm
Where I come from

Meat Loaf - "Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad" Baby we can talk all night
But that ain't getting us nowhere
I told you everything I possibly can
There's nothing left inside of here
And maybe you can cry all night
But that'll never change the way...
James Taylor - "Fire And Rain" Just yesterday morning, they let me know you were gone.
Suzanne, the plans they made put an end to you.
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song,
I just can't remember who to send it to....
