I loved it then and I love it no
The Country and the Cajun and the Delta Blues
There's nothing like the tapping of a blue suede shoe
When it's done in an American Accent
I loved the Memphis and the Nashville sound
I tuned to "Lux" when the lights were down
I sang like Elvis on my paper round
I sang in an American accent
Doesn't matter if it's fast or slow
Kind of high or way down low
They'll never play it on the radio
Unless you sing in an American accent
They'll never play it on the radio
Unless you sing in an American accent
I bought a guitar when I was just fourteen
I wanted to be groovy on the party scene
Looking kind of chubby in my Parker's jeans
I sang in an American accent
Bobby Dylan, he was all the rage
The denim-clad hero of the modern age
Guess I was going through an awkward stage
When I sang in an American accent
Doesn't matter if it's fast or slow
Kind of high or way down low
They'll never play it on the radio
Unless you sing in an American accent
They'll never play it on the radio
Unless you sing in an American accent
I sang a song on the BBC
They let me keep the tape for free
I played it back, it didn't sound like me
I sang in an American accent
Opened the curtains and I looked outside
Saw the reality I could not hide
This isn't Memphis, this is Morningside
And I don't have an American accent
Doesn't matter if it's fast or slow
Kind of high or way down low
They'll never play it on the radio
Unless you sing in an American accent
They'll never play it on the radio
Unless you sing in an American accent
I loved it then and I love it no
The Country and the Cajun and the Delta Blues
There's nothing like the tapping of a blue suede shoe
When it's done in an American Accent
I loved the Memphis and the Nashville sound
I tuned to "Lux" when the lights were down
I sang like Elvis on my paper round
I sang in an American accent
Doesn't matter if it's fast or slow
Kind of high or way down low
They'll never play it on the radio
Unless you sing in an American accent
Doesn't matter if it's fast or slow
Kind of high or way down low
They'll never play it on the radio
Unless you sing in an American accent
They'll never play it on the radio
Unless you sing in an American accent
They'll never play it on the radio
Unless you sing in an American accent
