The Willie
Blame it on the Willie: Love, Cowboys, and Unruly Hearts
Lyrics
You knew it was over
You were aware the relationship was ending
Before we began
The realization occurred before the romance started
Yeah, with my reputation
Due to my reputation
Baby, you shoulda ran
You should have avoided getting involved
Well girl, it ain't your fault
Not your fault
You fall in love with cowboys just like your dad
You tend to fall for cowboys like your father
You can't rope 'em up or tie 'em down
Cowboys can't be restrained or committed to
And you can't lose what you never had
You can't miss something you never truly possessed
So if you're mad
If you're angry
Just blame it on the Willie
Attribute the situation to the persona of Willie
Or the Waylon in my veins
Or the influence of Waylon in my personality
Baby, I'm a mustang
I am like a wild mustang
You just can't tame
Difficult to control or domesticate
They call me the twister
Nicknamed "the twister"
'Cause I'm just passin' through
Moving through life without attachment
So darlin' forgive me
Seeking forgiveness from the partner
And blame it on the Willie
Blame the situation on the persona of Willie
You'll see the bluest skies
You will experience incredibly clear skies
That you've ever seen
A metaphor for positive experiences
You'll pick up the pieces
You'll have to deal with the aftermath of my actions
Of the wreckage I leave, mm
The wreckage I create
Girl, it ain't your fault
Again, not your fault
You fall in love with cowboys
Reiteration of the pattern of falling for cowboys
Just like your dad, mm
Similar to your father
You can't rope 'em up or tie 'em down
Cowboys are not easily constrained or committed
You can't lose what you never had
You can't miss something you never truly possessed
So if you're mad
If you're angry
Just blame it on the Willie
Attribute the situation to the persona of Willie
Or the Waylon in my veins
Or the influence of Waylon in my personality
Baby, I'm a mustang
I am like a wild mustang
That you just can't tame
Difficult to control or domesticate
Yeah, they call me the twister
Nicknamed "the twister"
'Cause I'm just passin' through
Moving through life without attachment
So darlin' forgive me
Seeking forgiveness from the partner
And blame it on the Willie
Blame the situation on the persona of Willie
'Cause it ain't your fault
Once again emphasizing it's not the partner's fault
You fall in love with cowboys just like your dad
Reiteration of the pattern of falling for cowboys
It's too bad
Expressing regret or sympathy
Blame it on the Willie
Attribute the situation to the persona of Willie
Or the Waylon in my veins
Or the influence of Waylon in my personality
Baby, I'm a mustang
I am like a wild mustang
That you just can't tame
Difficult to control or domesticate
They call me the twister
Nicknamed "the twister"
'Cause I'm just passin' through
Moving through life without attachment
And it ain't your fault, babe
Reassurance that it's not the partner's fault
Just blame it on the Willie
Once again, attribute the situation to the persona of Willie
