Well, I´ve been saved by the grace of southern charm I got a mouth like a sailor and yours is more like a Hallmark card If you wanna pick a fight, well, I´m gonna have to say goodnight
I don´t have to be hateful, I can just say, "Bless your heart" And even though I don´t belong with your high life friends Doesn´t mean we don´t get together and try to make amends It´s easier, can´t you see? Let´s agree to just disagree We don´t have to like each other but it´s sure fun to pretend So let´s shake hands and reach across those party lines You got your friends just like I got mine We might think a little differently, but we got a lot in common you will see We´re just like you, only prettier Everybody says you gotta know your enemies Even if they only weigh a hundred pounds and stand five foot three
If you just smile and behave you can always get your way It´s a universal plan that´ll get you where you can in all societies So let´s shake hands and reach across those party lines You got your friends just like I got mine We might think a little differently, but we got a lot in common you will see We´re just like you, only prettier, hey Let´s shake hands and reach across those party lines You got your friend just like I got mine We might think a little differently, but we got a lot in common you will see We´re just like you, only prettier Well, I´ll keep drinkin´ and you´ll keep gettin´ skinnier
