Phoney Drawl

歌詞

There's a certain way of talkin' That is done down in the South A certain way of slackin' And certain muscles in your mouth. Please don't be confused and think That I am from there though 'Cause I was born and raised In southern Ontario. Phoney drawl, my phoney drawl Nothin' I do can shake this phoney drawl Like a broken tape recorder Or some kind of brain disorder Nothin' I do can shake this phoney drawl. Well, I do it when I'm on the stage Or in the studio I do it when I've been drinkin' Or sometimes when I go Down to Dixie for a visit I've been there a couple of times But it disappears like magic when Revenue Canada is on the line. Phoney drawl, my phoney drawl Nothin' I do can shake this phoney drawl So I sing about guns n' horses Not my university courses Nothin' I do can shake this phoney drawl. Well, maybe, it's 'cause way back yonder In my younger days My momma took me to one too many Tennessee Williams plays Or maybe, it's 'cause I can't fight And this drawl makes me sound tough Or maybe, it's 'cause who I am Just ain't interestin' enough. Phoney drawl, my phoney drawl Nothin' I do can shake this phoney drawl I shoulda stopped before I'd begun it 'Cause actually there ain't much money in it Nothin' I do can shake this phoney drawl.
