Blame Me
(Chris Knight and Fred Eagle Smith)
Intro: G two measures
Sit down, Mary, they don't know what they're talking about
Sit down, Mary, it's only make believe
Sit down, Mary, don't say those things you're screaming out
It was me, it was me
It was me they saw in the liquor store that night
And it was me with the gun on that cashier
When it went off it was me that took flight
It was my getaway car they saw disappear
Chorus:
Blame me if a crime's been done
If they need a reason I'm the one
Blame me
Yes sir, I left my wife Mary and her kids
Yes sir, I was a touch out of control
I drugged and drank and gambled, well yes sir, I did
'Til there wasn't any money to send home
(chorus)
bridge:
What's that you say sir, there were witnesses
Standing in the shadows that night
And that hold up man running from the liquor store
They say she looked exactly like my wife
Sit down, Mary, they don't know what they're talking about
Sit down, Mary, it's only make believe
Sit down, Mary, don't say those things you're screaming out
It was me, it was me, it was me,
(Chorus)
Blame me
