Trying to find this song; it goes kinda like this

Oh how it takes me back

That's all I know; I think its a old song but couldn't tell you a name just it was kinda soul/folk

Just a guess, but when there's not much to go on, sometimes that's the best I can do:


TALK LIKE THAT
Kelly Willis

Talk like that
Well I don't know where you're from
But oh how it takes me back
When you talk some

When you're moving around
You can lose sight of your past
It's way back beyond the last town
And you're moving too fast

Well I can hear my father
And his Oklahoma drawl
I hear my grandmother
Oh I can hear them all

And oh when you talk like that
I know where I'm from
And oh how it takes me back
When you talk some

And if anyone asks me
I don't have a home
And it's more than likely
I'll always be on my own

But oh when you talk like that
I know where I'm from
And oh how it takes me back
When you talk some

Lord how it takes me back
When you talk some

[From Kelly Willis "What I Deserve" (1999); also on the various-artists albums "Exposed Roots: Best of Alt. Country" (1999) and "Seka: Sister, Vol. 2" (2000).]

"I think its a old song"

About how old?
