Southern Accident

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

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

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

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

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

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
