| Found myself in a bottle,
|
| I don’t care for tomorrow
|
| I’m drunk on a barstool tonight,
|
| I touched down in Austin
|
| Last night I was hoping
|
| That somehow I could get drunker this time
|
| I was needing a change
|
| Inside I was strange
|
| I was caught up in your realm of lies
|
| And all the Lone Star Beer couldn’t take away my tears
|
| So I’m drinking whiskey tonight
|
| Chorus:
|
| And I’m gonna blame it on Texas
|
| Wasted three years of my life
|
| Yeah I’m gonna blame it on Texas
|
| If your still on my mind
|
| Yeah I’m gonna get drunk in Texas
|
| 'Till I know deep inside
|
| That I can thank God for Texas
|
| For Leaving you far behind!
|
| I think I’ll drive down to Luchenbach
|
| And drink some of them Shiner Bock’s
|
| And if that don’t work it’s Jim Bean
|
| And strike a match to them letters,
|
| The words that you wrote me I think I’ll get rid of this ring
|
| It’s a hard case to close,
|
| A hard thing to hold
|
| But I know I’ve got to be strong
|
| And dream of the days when I put my feet on the pavement and know I’ll be moving on,
|
| Chorus:
|
| And I’m gonna blame it on Texas
|
| Wasted three years of my life
|
| Yeah I’m gonna blame it on Texas
|
| If your still on my mind
|
| Yeah I’m gonna get drunk in Texas
|
| 'Till I know deep inside
|
| That I can thank God for Texas
|
| For Leaving you far behind!
|
| I’m drinking at George’s in Waco, Texas
|
| Just to free my mind
|
| Chorus:
|
| And I’m gonna blame it on Texas
|
| Wasted three years of my life
|
| Yeah I’m gonna blame it on Texas
|
| If your still on my mind
|
| Yeah I’m gonna get drunk in Texas
|
| 'Till I know deep inside
|
| That I can thank God for Texas
|
| For Leaving you far behind! |
