Well I heard you got your ticket So I guess you must be proud With all that wisdom around you Don't think I know how Go ahead & say you knew it well Go ahead & say you're glad A vial of rock to a diamond watch Don't you think that's sad? (Chorus) Don't you Blame it on me or the midnight Don't you Blame it on me or the sun Don't you Blame it on me or the moonlight Blame it on me or your gun This is what you gambled for Now the world is after you A loaded gun to an open door A lifetime job for fools Go ahead & say you knew it well Go ahead & say your glad Pearls on the handle of your gun-locked door Don't it make you sad? Now you're tired of running What a lifetime for a fool Time of penance has come & gone All jail time is due Though I hear now you're doing well You're still doing the time A small cell block to a 4 guard watch Looks like you were blind.
