Blame It On Cain (Honky Tonk Demo) Songtext / Lyric

Once upon a time, I had a little money

Government burglars took it long

Before I could mail it to you

Still, you are the only one



Now, I can't let it slip away

So if the man with the ticker tape

Tries to take it

This is what I'm gonna say



Blame it on Cain

Don't blame it on me

Oh-oh-oh, it's nobody's fault

But we need somebody to burn



Well, if I was a saint with a silver cup

And the money got low

We could always heat it up

And trade it in






Then the radio to heaven

Will be wired to your purse

And you can run down the wave band

Coast to coast, hand in hand

Bad for worse, curse for curse

Don't be dissatisfied

So you're not satisfied



Blame it on Cain

Don't blame it on me

Oh-oh-oh, it's nobody's fault

But we need somebody to burn



I think I've lived a little too long

On the outskirts of town

I think I'm going insane

From talking to myself for so long



Oh but I've never been accused

When they step upon your face

They wear that good look grin

I gotta break out one weekend

'Fore I do somebody in



But every single time

I feel a little stronger

They tell me it's a crime

Well, how much longer?



Blame it on Cain

Don't blame it on me

Oh-oh-oh, it's nobody's fault

But we need somebody to burn



Blame it on Cain

Oh-oh-oh-oh, please, don't blame it on me

It's nobody's fault

But it just seems to be his turn
