Lyrics
I Could Accept It, Except I Don’t
Copyright Seaberg/Kellermann 2003
I thanked her for the rainbow picks, the fishin’ line, an' the sausage stick
I thanked her for the STP, drinkin’ beer with me, I am thirty-three
It was nice to put streamers up, invite my friends and make that wienie stuff, but
I keep thinkin’ what she said last night,
She needs her space, a different life and…
"I could accept it", that’s what she said
"Give it up, pack it up, get it through my head"
That she’s movin’ on, and she’s movin’ out, startin’ fresh, that’s what it’s about
She says she’s got another kind of plan,
Wants to see the world, with another man
I’d beg her to stay, but I know she won’t
I could accept it, except I don’t!
Solo
Bridge
Well I miss her sometimes…..I still do…
But not as much since I met you…..
Thank you for the lovely quilt,
That you made yourself, and the sheets are silk
Thank you for the CDR, bringin’ caviar, I am thirty-four
Then the doorbell rings and I rise to see, a big ol’ box on the porch for me
I see the label and a note in black, "Happy Birthday baby…..
Please take me back!"
"I could accept it", that’s what she said
"Give it up, pack it up, get it through my head"
That she’s movin’ on, that she’s movin’ out, startin’ fresh, take another route
I hold the pen for a little while, then I turn to see my new lover’s smile
I say "I wont, wont sign! I wont!"
I could accept it, except I don’t
I could accept it…..except I don’t!
