Lyrics:

Found myself in a bottle,
I don't care for tomorrow
I'm drunk on a barstool tonight,
I touched down in Austin
Last night I was hoping
That somehow I could get drunker this time

I was needing a change
Inside I was strange
I was caught up in your realm of lies
And all the Lone Star Beer couldn't take away my tears
So I'm drinking whiskey tonight

Chorus:
And I'm gonna blame it on Texas
Wasted three years of my life
Yeah I'm gonna blame it on Texas
If your still on my mind
Yeah I'm gonna get drunk in Texas
'Till I know deep inside
That I can thank God for Texas
For Leaving you far behind!

I think I'll drive down to Luchenbach
And drink some of them Shiner Bock's
And if that don't work it's Jim Bean
And strike a match to them letters,
The words that you wrote me
I think I'll get rid of this ring
It's a hard case to close,
A hard thing to hold
But I know I've got to be strong
And dream of the days when I put my feet on the pavement and know I'll be moving on,

Chorus:
And I'm gonna blame it on Texas
Wasted three years of my life
Yeah I'm gonna blame it on Texas
If your still on my mind
Yeah I'm gonna get drunk in Texas
'Till I know deep inside
That I can thank God for Texas
For Leaving you far behind!

I'm drinking at George's in Waco, Texas
Just to free my mind

Chorus:
And I'm gonna blame it on Texas
Wasted three years of my life
Yeah I'm gonna blame it on Texas
If your still on my mind
Yeah I'm gonna get drunk in Texas
'Till I know deep inside
That I can thank God for Texas
For Leaving you far behind!
