Lyrics
Don't Blame Me
Graeham Goble
August 2nd, 1983
I was just thirteen when I left home, living in my daddy's shadow
There was so much goin' on that he couldn't feel
There were times when I was scared as hell, but nobody cared and I could tell
That the love they spoke of, just wasn't real
Don't blame me if I just don't like it that way
Please let me go, don't ask me to stay
I'm beggin' you please, just don't blame me
I love to travel on the back road, it's the only life for me
I know when to go, I sense when to pull back, I wanna be free
There are days when I can move the earth
And times when I've found what people are worth
And I can't accept the way we've come to be
Don't blame me if I just don't like it that way
Please let me go, don't ask me to stay
I'm beggin' you please, just don't blame me
Don't blame me if I just don't like it that way
Please let me go, don't ask me to stay
I'm beggin' you please, just don't blame me
Then a lady came into my life, she turned me up-side-down
I was so naive, I had my heart on my sleeve, I loved to see her around
There were times I was glad to pay the price
But there were nights, she was cold as ice
So I ran away, and I'm still runnin' now
Don't blame me if I just don't like it that way
Please let me go, don't ask me to stay
I'm beggin' you please, just don't blame me
Don't blame me if I just don't like it that way
Please let me go, don't ask me to stay
I'm beggin' you please, just don't blame me
Don't blame me, don't blame me
I'm beggin' you please, just don't blame me
Don't blame me, don't blame me
I'm beggin' you please, just don't blame me
I hate to have to disagree
I only wanna be me
Never can just go along
With the things I dislike, I can't help it if I wanna fight
Don't wanna hafta walk away
Don't wanna stay another day
You can't appreciate my point of view
So I may as well go and you know that you could not blame me
Don't blame me
I'm beggin' you please, just don't blame me
Don't blame me, don't blame me
