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 down   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 appreciate 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
