I been having a ball since I was a boy in Beaumont I love that town but I just couldn't stay Two-stepped all the way to Amarillo Shuffled my way into Santa Fe I just had to see she sunset out in Frisco The golden gate is great, but it ain't home Give me a Rodeo Blame it on Texas don't blame it on me I am what I am, and That's what I'm gonna be You can say what you wanna say, 'bout my insanity Blame it on Texas, don't blame it on me Met a girl out in eastern Oklahoma, Her daddy was a Tulsa millionaire Miles and Miles of oil wells he'd leave her All a man could want was waiting there One night while she lay sleeping, I slipped away Like no man in his right mind would do, call me a fool Blame it on Texas don't blame it on me I am what I am, and That's what I'm gonna be You can say what you wanna say, 'bout my insanity Blame it on Texas, don't blame it on me You can say what you wanna say, 'bout my insanity Blame it on Texas, Don't blame it on me
