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

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'

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



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'

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
