I blame this new tattoo on a hundred proof bottle of whiskey And the scar on my cheek to an '84 Jeep and an oak tree I blame the cussin' on my daddy, good looks on my mama But as for my honky-tonk ways You know I blame it on Waylon And all them other outlaws Blame it on the back beat Blame it on them sad songs If I got a 'don't care' attitude and long hair And mean every damn word I'm singin' I blame it on Waylon I blame my ramblin' ways on that old freight train I was born on And the holes in the soles of these boots on every girl I told so long Blame my good luck on the good Lord and bad luck on the devil But this lonesome in my soul You know I blame it on Waylon And all them other outlaws Blame it on the back beat Blame it on them sad songs If I got a 'don't care' attitude and long hair And mean every damn word I'm singin' I blame it on Waylon Hey From this old guitar I'm playin' To these smoky bar dues I'm payin' I blame it on Waylon And all them other outlaws Blame it on the back beat Blame it on them sad songs If I got a 'don't care' attitude and long hair And mean every damn word I'm singin' I blame it on Waylon And all them other outlaws Blame it on the back beat Blame it on them sad songs If I got a 'don't care' attitude and long hair And mean every damn word I'm singin' I blame it on Waylon Blame it on Waylon
