Someone Else Caught the Blame
I saw my headlights headed south
That’s the wrong way from my house
Make it one more time that I felt the shame
I should have kept on moving on
But the rent needed paying at home
Once again I’ll have to take the blame
Darling there’s nothing left inside of me you can abuse
What little heart and mind I had, you’ll find you done used
Though the streets may be my home
And my world is all alone
At least someone else caught the blame
I should have known from the start
But in love I’m not that smart
You only wanted someone you could shame
As my candle of life burns low
And my love for you has slowed
Finally I’m not feeling any pain
Darling there’s nothing left inside of me you can abuse
What little heart and mind I had, you’ll find you done used
Though the streets may be my home
And my world is all alone
At least someone else caught the blame
