The Way I Talk Lyrics

It′s got a touch of the town where I grew up
Somethin' in it, them California girls love
Some people like to make a little fun of
The way I talk

It gets slower after three or four cold beers
And gets louder when I′m cheering on the Volunteers
Folks know I'm country, when they hear
The way I talk

It sounds a little bit like my daddy
It don't cuss around my mama
Got some words you′ve never heard
′Less you come from down yonder
The man upstairs gets it
So I ain't tryna fix it
No, I can′t hide it
I don't fight it, I just roll with it

Oh, kinda slow like the Mississippi roads
It′s the only way I know
Man, it ain't my fault
I just live the way I talk

Yeah, it′s "Yes, sir, no, ma'am, y'all come back, now"
Fightin′ words if you run my last name down
I ain′t ashamed, matter of fact, I'm damn proud
Of the way I talk, y′all

It sounds a little bit like my daddy
It don't cuss around my mama
Got some words you′ve never heard
'Less you come from down yonder
The man upstairs gets it
So I ain′t tryna fix it
No, I can't hide it
I don't fight it, I just roll with it

Oh, kinda slow like the Mississippi roads
It′s the only way I know
Man, it ain′t my fault
I just live the way I talk

Slow, like a Sunday morning service back home
And kinda sweet when I got a girl to love on
If you know me, you know

I sound a little bit like my daddy
I don't cuss around my mama
Got some words you′ve never heard
'Less you come from down yonder
The man upstairs gets it
So I ain′t tryna fix it
No, I can't hide it
I don′t fight it, I just roll with it

Oh, kinda slow like the Mississippi roads
It's the only way I know
Man, it ain't my fault
I just live the way I talk

The way I talk
