Blame It on My Youth

Blame it, blame it on my youth

I wasn't born with the rich blood

I started out with plenty of nothing at all

I got stuck in the thick mud

The flash flood, punk rock, and the alcohol

I was raised on a rerun

I was bored to death, so I started a band

Cut my teeth on a safety dance

My attention span never stood a chance

It's too late

Can you forgive me now?

You could never kill my high

I'm the ink and you're the headline (oh)

Blame it, blame it on my youth

Blame it, blame it on my youth

You can never block my shine

I've been lost since 1999 (oh)

Blame it, blame it on my youth

Blame it, blame it on my youth

(Blame, blame, blame on my youth)

I wasn't made for the good life

I ended up getting stuck on the side of the road

I tripped and fell on hard times

Tough breaks are the only kind I know

I was left on a door step

I was scared to death with nowhere to go

Cut myself on the neighbors' fence

That I hopped as the cops tried to take me in

It's too late

Can you forgive me now?

You could never kill my high

I'm the ink and you're the headline (oh)

Blame it, blame it on my youth

Blame it, blame it on my youth

You could never block my shine

I've been lost since 1999 (oh)

Blame it, blame it on my youth

Blame it, blame it on my youth

I was raised on the Ritalin

Ever since I was a little kid (little kid)

No one ever seemed to give a shit (give a shit)

And I don't need an excuse

I don't need an excuse

You could never kill my high

I'm the ink and you're the headline

Blame it, blame it on my youth

Blame it, blame it on my youth

You can never block my shine

I've been lost since 1999 (oh)

Blame it, blame it on my youth

Blame it, blame it on my youth

You can never kill my high (endless summer)

I'm the ink and you're the headline (stretching on and on)

Blame it, blame it on my youth (oh, oh)

Blame it, blame it on my youth (oh
