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 lets agree to just disagree We don't have to like each other but its sure fun to pretend So lets 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 could always get your way It's a universal plan that'll get you where you can in all societies So lets 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 Lets 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 Well I'll keep drinkin' and you'll keep gettin' skinnier Hey I'm just like you only prettier She says just like you only prettier
