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
