This Accent - The Cadillac Three

You can take my truck

Take that old blue hound

Take that barn in the back

Burn it down to the ground

Well there’s more to me than an F-150

A dog and couple bales of hay, that’s right

You can take these six strings right out of my hand

Take all these songs and shove 'em in a can

Throw them in a river yeah

I got more than that to say

Well this is real hand-me-down from my pa-paw (?)

It’s a sweet slow rolling of southern drawl

It’s my last name, it’s where I come from

It’s as thick as the whiskey runnin' through my blood

It ain’t just my looks that my girl loves

My father’s father

To my father’s son

Yeah you can take a lot of things from a man

And leave him deep broken-hearted and bent

But you ain’t never gonna take this accent

It’s got a little dirt

It’s got a little rasp

Yeah them Marlboro Reds, well, they’ll do that

If you’re talkin' bout taking things from me

Why don’t you take those

Oh it’s Tennessee truth

Yeah, it’s a small town proud

It’s Sunday prayer comin' outta my mouth

Thanking God she said «Yes» when I proposed

Well this is real hand-me-down from my pa-paw (?)

It’s a sweet slow rolling of southern drawl

It’s my last name, it’s where I come from

It’s as thick as the whiskey runnin' through my blood

It ain’t just my looks that my girl loves

My father’s father

To my father’s son

Yeah you can take a lot of things from a man

And leave 'em deep broken-hearted and bent

But you ain’t never gonna take this accent
