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
Yeah, 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)

Don't blame me
If I just don't like it that way (don't blame me)
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
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)
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) 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, don't blame me
