I Had an Accident

Verse 1

I had an accident

I had an accident

Took a wrong fuckin' turn, came plowin' through the wall

My ute went flyin' like a missile, straight into her bed and all

She was sleepin' peaceful, old lady in her nightgown white

Now she's flattened like a pancake underneath my headlights

She shit herself right there, bowels gave up when she died

That stench hit like a hammer — death and warm diarrhea fried

Pre-Chorus

She's dead, she's dead

'Cause you killed her, boy, ran her over flat in your ute

Blood on the fender, guts on the hood, what the fuck you gonna do?

Chorus

You had an accident

Yeah, you had an accident

You blame it on your neighbor, bro

"That cunt next door did it, swear to God, I know!"

You had an accident

Verse 2

You didn't wanna go to jail, no way, not you

So you spun your web of lies, made the whole damn story glue

Pointed at your best friend when the cops came sniffin' 'round

Said "He borrowed my ute last night, check his yard, not mine, look down"

They found the evidence, the paint chips, the tire tracks in blood

But you kept swearin' up and down, pushin' that innocent man in the mud

The witness finally cracked, told the truth under the lights

But by then it was too late — they strapped him in that chair that night

Pre-Chorus

He's dead, he's dead

Innocent man fried electric, while you sat back and smiled

You had an accident, but you made damn sure someone else paid the price

Chorus

You had an accident

Yeah, you had an accident

You had an accident

You had an accident

Bridge

As the years go rollin' by, you're still walkin' free

Sippin' cold ones on the porch, laughin' at the tragedy

Old lady's family still cryin', friend's grave overgrown with weeds

But you're out here livin' large, plantin' more dirty seeds

That shit-stench memory still crawls inside your brain

Every time you smell somethin' foul, it takes you back again

You did the crime so cold, so calculated, so tediously

Now you're just another killer hidin' in plain sight, carefree

Final Chorus

You had an accident!

Ohhh, you had an accident!

Blamed it on your neighbor, then your friend, then the wind

Left an old lady shittin' herself in her own bed

You had an accident!

Yeah, you had an accident!

Outro

Some folks got money, some folks got fame

But I got an old lady's brains splattered on my frame

And that horrible death-shit smell still haunts me every day...

I had an accident...

(Yeah... I had an accident...)
