Intro Riff 2x

I blame this new tattoo on a hundred proof bottle of whiskey

  Intro Riff 2x

And the scar on my cheek to an '84 Jeep and an oak tree

Blame the cussin' on my Daddy, good looks on my Mama

But as for my honky-tonk ways

 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'

Intro Riff 2x

I blame it on Waylon

Intro Riff 2x

I blame my ramblin' ways on that old freight train I was born on

Intro Riff 2x

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

From this old guitar I'm playin'

To these smoky bar dues I'm payin'

 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'

Intro Riff 2x

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
