Lyrics

Accident Prone

A happy accident

Me running into you

Was off of my beaten path

God lost from my crew

Out of my element

Lost hold of the wheel

I didn't anticipate

A pleasant ordeal

I was getting tired of

Always being alone

Good thing that I've always been so

Accident prone

What made me go that way

Well I really don't know

Who do I have to thank?

To what do I owe?

I was feeling so bereft

All my chances blown

Good think that I've always been so

Accident prone

I was getting tired of

Always being alone

Good thing that I've always been so

Accident prone

A happy accident

Me running into you

Who do I have to think?

To what do I owe?
