I used to blame it on the clock   'Cause I swear it stops when you're with good friends   An' Billy sayin', "One more shot"   An' damn that shot always turned to ten      Oh, but I'm afraid the truth   Is if it weren't for me, I'd still have you      I used to blame it on the wind   When it got still it meant the fish were bitin'   Used to think the devil's to blame   For the hell I've raised an' all that fightin'      Yeah, it'd make a good excuse   If it weren't for me, I'd still have you      No, it ain't my fault, that's a real nice thought   Only problem is, it just ain't true   An' still I curse the night an' everything in sight   Anything to keep from feeling like a fool   'Cause if it weren't for me, I'd still have you      I used to point my finger at   The fact that you were born to money   I could never measure up   No poor boy's love could ever keep you, honey      But a lie won't hide the truth   If it weren't for me, I'd still have you      No, it ain't my fault, that's a real nice thought   Only problem is, it just ain't true   An' still I curse the night an' everything in sight   Anything to keep from feeling like a fool   'Cause if it weren't for me, I'd still have you      I used to blame it on the clock   'Cause I swear it stops when you're with good friends   An' Billy sayin', "One more shot"   An' damn that shot always turned to ten
