phoney drawl - geoff berner lyrics

Loading...

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 in raith east
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 cuz way back yonder
in my younger days
my momma took me to one too many
tennessee williams plays
or maybe, it’s cuz i can’t fight
and this drawl makes me sound tough
or maybe, it’s cuz 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 ever beginnin’
’cause actually there ain’t much money in it
nothin’ i do can shake this phoney drawl
