lyrics

Ready or not, well it’s time to choose
Just a stumbling fool with nothing to loose
Well I’m drunk as hell, and my hands are cold
And I slipped and fell, and I broke the mold

It was by accident that I learned to care
Well I was an accident, nothing too fair
It was by accident that I learned to care
Well I’m just an accident, nothing too fair

My time is up
Just a pile of snow, with the door closed shut
Well I could stumble home, or I could just stay here
But my legs are tired and they’re full of beer

It was by accident that I learned to care
Well I was an accident, nothing too fair
It was by accident that I learned to care
Well I’m just an accident, nothing too fair

Well I called my Mamma on the telephone
Told her I won't make it home
She said "Goddamn boy, how far you've fallen
Don't going 80 feel like 20 when you're destined for the wall?"

Well I'm two left feet, not worth spare change
Well I don't feel worth it at any age

It was by accident that I learned to care
Well I’m just an accident, nothing too fair
