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 the 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 about 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

Ana 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 about my insanity

Blame it on Texas, don't blame it on me



And you can say what you wanna say about my insanity

Blame it on Texas, don't blame it on me
