No One to Blame (But Myself) (Explicit)

WELL HERE I AM AGAIN, WAITING FOR THE DAMN PHONE TO RING

ON MY OWN AGAIN, ‘CAUSE I TRUSTED THE WORDS OF A FRIEND (AGAIN)

YEAH I MADE UP MY MIND & PAID MY OWN FARE

AND DID ALL I COULD JUST TO GET MY ASS THERE

BUT IT ALL FELL APART, YEAH IT TORE AT THE SEAMS

AND WITH IT TORE A BIG HOLE IN MY DREAMS

AND THE WORST PART OF ALL AS I TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT MYSELF

I GOT NO-ONE TO BLAME BUT MYSELF

YEAH I ONCE HAD A GIRL, WE’D MARRY AND WE’D SETTLE DOWN

SHE WAS THE ONLY ONE, WITH A GOOD HEART THAT I’D EVER FOUND

BUT I MADE UP MY MIND TO FOLLOW MY DREAM

AND MAKE A BIG HIT ON THE ROCK’N’ROLL SCENE

YEAH THERE’S PLENTY OF FISH IN THE OCEANS AND STREAMS

BUT NEVER AGAIN ONE THAT WAS QUITE RIGHT FOR ME

AND THE WORST PART OF ALL AS I TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT MYSELF

I GOT NO-ONE TO BLAME BUT MYSELF

STOP

THEN ONE DAY I WOKE UP AN ANGRY AND BITTER OLD MAN

ALL USED, NO MONEY NO FORTUNE NO FAME

YEAH I FRITTERED MY YOUTH ON WINE, WOMEN AND SONG

WHAT SEEMED LIKE FOREVER WAS NOT VERY LONG

ON THE SEVEN HIGH SEAS YEAH I TRAVELLED THE WORLD

GUITAR ON MY BACK I WAS AS FREE AS A BIRD

AND I GAVE ALL MY HEART AS I SANG MY SONGS

‘CAUSE I KNEW MY BIG BREAK WOULD BE COMING ALONG

NOW I PLAY MY GUITAR IN THE DOWNEST OF BARS

WHERE THE AIR SMELLS LIKE TOILETS AND THE WINE TASTES LIKE TAR

AND THE FEW DIRTY NOTES THAT THEY’VE PAID ME THIS FAR

I STUFF INTO MY POCKETS AS I DRINK MY LAST JAR

AND THE PARTIES AND SONGS STILL REVOLVE IN MY HEAD

IN MY TEN DOLLAR HOTEL, MY TEN DOLLAR BED

IN THE DAWNS EARLY LIGHT NOW THE BEST I CAN DO

IS TO DREAM OF LIFE AND A GIRL I ONCE KNEW

AND THE WORST PART OF ALL AS I TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT MYSELF

THE WORST PART OF ALL AS I TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT MYSELF

YEAH THE WORST PART OF ALL AS I TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT MYSELF

NO-ONE TO BLAME BUT MYSELF
