Don’t Put The Blame On Me

Well you can take my heart, my soul, my money

but you won’t take me alive

You can bribe me, beat me, be my honey

but you won’t change what’s inside

I’ve been up, down, dragged around, may sound funny

but there’s still one thing I know

You can tell me I’m a no-good dummy

but you can’t take blood from a stone

CHORUS

I’m telling you one thing you’d better believe

You can try all you want but don’t put the blame on me

You wanted all the marbles, you thought I couldn’t see

The lonely time was coming when you would set me free

Don’t put the blame on me

I got a five o’clock deadline going into overtime

looking for the easy way

A little caffeine, in my stream, might improve my daydream

get me through another day

I’m working nine to five day and night, trying to keep myself alive,

guess you’d say I’m toeing the line

Don’t need your class act to hold me back,

say your peace and turn your back don’t worry, I’m alright

CHORUS

It’s been a long hard road down the destination highway

with a heavy load upon my back

But after seven long years, wasted time and wasted tears

things are finally getting back on track

CHORUS
