Thursday, 6/171/10 - Don't Blame Me


When was the last time you experienced silence?

This is the result of a 90 minute, late night drive with the window down, the radio off and almost no one else on the roads.

Read it with a country twang.




Don't blame me,
If nothin's all you're left with.
Don't blame me,
If I'm soundin' like a skeptic.

Don't blame me,
If your best times are in the past.
Don't blame me,
If things you have now won't last.

Don't blame me,
If your stars have all stopped shinin'.
Don't blame me,
If you can't find that silver linin'.

Don't blame me,
If there's nothin' left on your plate.
Don't blame me,
If I still have the cake I just ate.

Don't blame me,
If you should hear me laughin'.
Don't blame me,
If I folded up and cashed in.

Don't blame me,
If you try but just can't win it.
Don't blame me,
If I'm soundin' like a cynic.

Don't blame me,
If you don't like the hand you're holdin'.
Don't blame me,
If I played my cards and folded.

Don't blame me,
If you only get what you got.
Don't blame me,
If I always take my best shot.

Don't blame me,
No, don't blame me.

  1. I read it with my best South Carolina "twang," and it worked!
