Southern Accident

[Verse 1]

Your mama and your daddy, they knew their love was true

But I came out eight months after my mama said "I do"

It's not that they were lying, they were looking down the road

But I can't help but to think of love as something that can come and go

[Chorus]

So honey, I'm doubtful

Honey, I'm hopeful

Honey, I'm a handful

But I'm a hand you can hold

Honey, I'm reticent

I'm a southern accident

But, honey, I'm here

And I'm gonna let it go

[Verse 2]

You took family vacation, I never learned to ski

On weekends I'd hide in my bedroom, watch too much MTV

It's not that there was yelling, but the silence was thick

That's why when I get angry, you'd never know it

[Chorus]

Honey, I'm doubtful

Honey, I'm hopeful

Honey, I'm a handful

But I'm a hand you can hold

Honey, I'm reticent

I'm a southern accident

But, honey, I'm here

And I'm gonna let it go

[Bridge]

Oh, it's a coming of age

And a ticking of the clock

Oh, some folks dream to settle

Oh, some folks say "Why not?"

But I don't see the hurry

Wanna love you through all the seasons

And you see the good, the bad and leave me

Don't love me for any other reason

[Chorus]

And I'm doubtful

Honey, I'm hopeful

Honey, I'm a handful

But I'm a hand you can hold

Honey, I'm reticent

I'm a southern accident

But, honey, I'm here

And I'm gonna let it go
