Nobody But Yourself to Blame

You ain’t got nobody
Nobody but yourself to blame
You ain’t got nobody
Nobody to blame

‘Cause you dug yourself some you’ve-been-warned China deep holes
Then you tried blamin’ everyone for handin’ you the shovel
And you pointed your live-fire-loaded
Hair-pinned trigger-happy finger at Jesus
Loved ones
Even the whole damn world
And just like that you found your ass out in the cold

And you ain’t got nobody
Nobody but yourself to blame
You ain’t got nobody
Nobody to blame

And I know you’d mind the fall if you ever hit the ground
’Cause there’s only so many helpin’ hands on a junkie’s way down
And I used to think the smokes and drugs were your suicide of choice
But now I’d say your mule-stubborn pride was killin’ on you first
Now your problems have drug problems and some loser kids of their own
And they don’t do Jack but freeload, in-fight and bitch and moan
And they’re waitin’ up the road to slit your butter-soft stubble throat
Then they’re gonna drop kick
Your ass
Into a pay-back early grave
And you can cry victim all you want but you’ll be holdin’ the killers blade

And I love you but…

You ain’t got nobody
Nobody but yourself to blame
You ain’t got nobody
Nobody to blame

Nobody to blame
Nobody but your tough-loved sorry-for-your-own-damn-self to blame
