Lyrics by Tom Sharp
I’ll take my pills; I won’t complain. No one but I should take the blame. It’s not for thrills; that much is plain. I know the drill; won’t pull your chain. No one but I should take the blame. I’ll down this swill; it’s only pain. Some days are easier than others, and others have it worse than I. I wouldn’t choose to have my druthers. I know that I’m a lucky guy. I walked the miles, across the plains. No one but I should take the blame. On with my smile; I’m not insane. I had some fun, now down the drain. No one but I should take the blame. What’s done is done; won’t come again. I made my choice; I took my gains. No one but I should take the blame I have my voice; I’m not that lame. I’ll take my knocks; I’m not too vain. No one but I should take the blame. It’s not a pox; it’s not a strain. I’ll drain the cup; it’s not henbane. No one but I should take the blame. I’ll live it up; I’ll pour champagne. I’ll take the ice ’long with the rain. No one but I should take the blame. That’s my advice, my sad refrain. Some days are easier than others, and others have it worse than I. I wouldn’t choose to have my druthers. I know that I’m a lucky guy. I raise my sword; it’s not ordained. No one but I should take the blame. I’ll praise the Lord, but not in vain.
