PUT THE BLAME ON ME:
====================
 Another day with you
 I'm getting fitted for a millstone
 It would've been better
 Had I left you alone
 So if Jesus finds you begging unbelief
 Put the blame on me

 I never failed to cry for you
 I never failed to pray
 I guess that failed to matter
 To your blue eyes today
 As they saw me stealing justice like a thief
 Put the blame on me

 Don't blame the truth
 If you love the lie
 Don't blame the deacon's gun
 Don't blame a preacher, prophet, or a priest
 But if it makes it easy
 Put the blame on me

 If I told you where to look
 But failed to tell you what to find
 If I led you down a road
 That had a twisted center line
 Or if I fed your dark sensibility
 Put the blame on me

 Don't blame your doubt
 If you fear belief
 Don't even blame your pain
 Don't blame a burden only you can see
 But if it makes it easy
 Put the blame on me

 Don't blame the truth
 If you love the lie
 Don't blame the deacon's gun
 Don't blame a preacher, prophet, or a priest
 Don't blame your doubt
 If you hate belief
 Don't even blame your pain
 Don't blame a man
 Pinned naked on a tree
 Who died perfectly deperate
 Who loves you desperately
 No, Put the blame on me
 Put the blame on me
 Put the blame on me
