She took down the photograph Of our wedding day Ripped it down the middle And threw my half away And I got nobody to blame but me I got nobody to blame but me She broke all my fishing rods Put my guns in hock Threw my clothes out in the yard And changed out all the locks And I got nobody to blame but me I got nobody to blame but me I know right where I went wrong I know just what got her gone Turned my life into this country song And I got nobody to blame but me I got nobody to blame but me She fired up my old hot rod Ran it in the pond Put sugar in my John Deere I can’t even mow my lawn And I got nobody to blame but me I got nobody to blame but me She built her a bonfire With my old six string Took all my good whiskey And poured it down the drain And I got nobody to blame but me I got nobody to blame but me I know right where I went wrong I know just what got her gone Turned my life into this country song And I got nobody to blame but me I got nobody to blame but me Nobody to blame but me I got nobody to blame but me
