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
Hell, but nobody cared
And I could tell that the love he 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 go back, I wanna be free
There are days when I can move the earth
And time 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 upside dowm
I was so naive, had my heart in my own sleeve
I love to see her around
There were times when I was glad to pay the price
But there were nights she was cold as ice, so I ran away - and I'm still running 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 have to walk away, don't wanna stay another day
You can't appericiate my point of view, so I may as well as 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, just don't blame me
Living in my daddy's shadow
There was so much goin' on that he couldn't feel
There were times when I was scared
Hell, but nobody cared
And I could tell that the love he 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 go back, I wanna be free
There are days when I can move the earth
And time 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

Don't blame me, don't blame me
