I blame this new tattoo on a 100 proof bottle of whiskey
And the scar on my cheek to an ’84 jeep and an oak tree
I blame this cussin’ on my daddy, and my good looks on my mama
But as for my honkytonk ways

I blame it on Waylon and all them other outlaws
Blame it on the back beat blame it them sad songs
If I got a don’t care attitude and long hair and mean every single word I’m singing, I blame it on Waylon

I blame my ramblin’ ways on this old freight train I was born on
These holes in the soles of these boots on every girl I told so long
I 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 them sad songs
If I got a don’t care attitude and long hair and mean every single word I’m singing, 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 them sad songs
If I got a don’t care attitude and long hair and mean every single word I’m singing, I blame it on Waylon

And all them other outlaws
Blame it on the back beat blame it them sad songs
If I got a don’t care attitude and long hair and mean every single word I’m singing, I blame it on Waylon

Blame it on Waylon
