Josh Thompson - Blame It On Waylon Lyrics






I blame this new tattoo on a hundred proof bottle of whiskey
And the scar on my cheek to an '84 Jeep and an oak tree
Blame the cussin' on my Daddy, good looks on my Mama
But as for my honky-tonk ways

I blame it on Waylon
And all them other outlaws
Blame it on the back beat
Blame it on them sad songs

If I got a don't care attitude and long hair
And mean every damn word I'm singin'
I blame it on Waylon

I blame my ramblin' ways on that old freight train I was born on
And the holes in the soles of these boots on every girl I told so long
Blame my good luck on the good Lord
And bad luck on the devil, but this lonesome in my soul

You know I blame it on Waylon
And all them other outlaws
Blame it on the back beat
Blame it on them sad songs

If I got a don't care attitude and long hair
And mean every damn word I'm singin'
I blame it on Waylon

From this old guitar I'm playin'
To these smoky bar dues I'm payin'

You know I blame it on Waylon
And all them other outlaws
Blame it on the back beat
Blame it on them sad songs

If I got a don't care attitude and long hair
And mean every damn word I'm singin'
I blame it on Waylon

And all them other outlaws
Blame it on the back beat
Blame it on them sad songs

If I got a don't care attitude and long hair
And mean every damn word I'm singin'
I blame it on Waylon, blame it on Waylon

    OUTLAW COUNTRY MUSICLONG LIVE REST IN PEACE WAYLON JOHNNY CASH  MEREL HAGARD

  32. V.... K....

    I've liked the songs josh has that come up on iheart a while now but lately have really been getting in to his music. this guy actually is a good singer and performer, not a one hit wonder

  33. L.... S....

    How can you listen to Waylon and then make...this?

    L.... S....

    hes blamein all his country way of life (witch is good) on waylen.. i love waylen, but istill blame it on him too

    L.... S....

    by living the life style.

    L.... S....

    @Anthony Okonski you wouldnt know gold if it you in the face..this song is far from gold. ask daddy what gold is!.

    L.... S....

    Lauren Summers the music i agree the words are right but just because a artist dont sound like the greats dosent mean they arent country northern southern people must like pop country but in alabama i dont know anyone that listens to 102.1 our "country" station he made it his own waylon was one of the many artist that inspired him look at greta van fleet they sing modern clasic rock and a few of there influences are pop,country,and folk

  34. N.... A....

    It's a shame he didn't make it very far on country radio. He's really good. I like that he's actually country, rather than all these so called "country artists" now who just sing rap and pop with a little twang.

    N.... A....

    +Nick Ambrose Some of the Country Artists today aren't that bad

    N.... A....

    Guess where he's from? Good ol Wisconsin.

    N.... A....

    I hear this song quite often on the radio, but they play the cover by Jason Cassidy.

    N.... A....

    Country is country wide . Like my home state we’re not what people think of when they think country .. but dierks Bentley is definitely country .

  35. T.... I....

    we have a friend who's name is Whalen, you don't know how fun it is to fuck around with him with this song, everything that happens "blame it on Whalen"

    T.... I....

    +Tony Ijabronie u do realize hes talking about waylon jennings right?

    T.... I....

    Tony Ijabronie I believe it's spelled Waylon

  36. S.... P....

    Seen a lot of knocks on this song and JT, guess I don't get it. Song itself is pretty good if you ask me, 1000 times better than most of the hip hop country BS stuff coming out these days.  Obviously some taking this way too deep, it's just a song folks.

  37. S.... C....

    My nickname is waylon...he died on my bday...this song fits me

  38. M.... P....

    I reckon this is what Shooter is referring to when he wrote "Outlaw You." Shoe fits for sure.

  39. J.... D....

    Music for money...People will listen to anything these days...Josh isn't bad...just needs better lyrics and more Rhythm...Tired of the same old Shuffles.

  40. M.... P....

    Blame it on the tumble weed

  41. A.... R....

    If you disliked this song..you are wrong!

    A.... R....

    this is real country, cause he is mentioning every first before him!!!! i love him

  42. T.... ....

    WAYLON!!!!!!!!!

  43. j.... d....

    Waylon is missed.

    j.... d....

    joe doe And Always will be...Love that man and his music ❤️💕😍😉

    j.... d....

    Definitely.

  44. D.... ....

    Blame it on Rock n' Roll

  45. T.... B....

    This shits sweet

  46. C.... S....

    Kickin Ass!! JT!!! HaHa!!!

  47. R.... B....

    U Damn Rite Son.......U R the best songwriter in country music boy....

    R.... B....

    Hahah yup I actually have but first I ask you. Do you know what made Waylon an outlaw? The fact that he told music row that it was either his way or no way. He ended up doing it his way. He then pissed most of it away by snorting a ski-hill worth of powder. He ended up living life going from bus to stage and back. Other than that, he was apparently a very isolated and distraught man. It seemed like the only way he could talk about anything was through his music. He was a pioneer. What has this guy we're discussing ever done to get called an outlaw?! He sounds just like every other new country act comin out in the growing genre called  bro-countr....wait I mean "outlaw country". I've listened to many things this guys written to see if there's something I might be missing. Nope, I just plainly disagree with you. You have your opinion too and you're entitled to it. I just don't see anything different from the watered-down scene in any of his music... I may not be a talented SOB, but I'd rather be a shitty sounding nobody then a famous lie, who's just around till there's someone else coming along sounding like a cash register. In other words....."We Need A Change"

    R.... B....

    There's a reason Josh isn't played very often on the radio. One it's because no one would let him record because it wasn't mainstream enough. Two it's because he writes everything himself. Unlike almost everyone on the radio. You gotta get it out of your mind that just because someone's name isn't Hank, Waylon, Cash, or Jones that they aren't true country artists. Jamey Johnson and Josh Thompson are about as true as it gets these days.

    R.... B....

    Can't really recall Waylon ever wanting the title of an outlaw too. Unlike your apparent hero. Waylon was out to do something that hadn't been done... That's something in the music industry that was by the artist and not the way music row wanted it. THAT'S what made him an outlaw. He didn't blame some musician in hopes to get respect from the crowd who are into more traditional country. I call an outlaw doing things his own way. He  Not because of what someone coined him as. As for the fact that Josh isn't played on the radio is the fact that there are a million and one just like him. Trying to use others fame as a benchmark of their own. Last time I checked, nobody ever just made it right off the hop without paying their dues on the tour bus you describe. I just think he's as real as Santa and it'll take a lot more than your opinion to change that. I just call 'em like I see 'em and if there's something I see that can change my mind, I'll swallow my pride and may even become a fan. I'll only do that if he can prove his outlaw ways and do something that makes him stand out on his own... And doing it his way. I agree that country is changing, but it doesn't have to turn into what it is now. The only things that will change it for the better is if the artists who are in the position to make a change, ACTUALLY DO!! Instead of taking it in the hoop to become famous and then saying they're hardcore.... That and getting people to not swallow all this manufactured busllshit, because there are a lot of undiscovered stars out there. Music row just don't want them because they would make it harder to control the scene

    R.... B....

    @I am Kai music is changeing get use to it or do something about it thats all I can say

    R.... B....

    +Nicole Bonds Josh Thompson isn't played too much on mainstream radio because he ain't a sell out

  48. A.... K....

    Most Awesome SonG about Waylon and the Outlaws... I grew up on the Album "Dreaming my Dreams with You"... this is on heavy rotation on my headphones in my helmet when I am blowing up to Dillingham Airfield to fly Planes on my 1995 Ducati 916!!!! WHOOP WHOOP WHOOP!!!! FREAKING AWESOME SONG! Coming back to MIDLAND ODESSA and this song will be on when I land!!!

  49. T.... H....

    Good song

  50. S.... ....

    Holy fuck man, you got a new fan!

  51. c.... w....

    thats what im doin to night yee yee mother fuckers

  52. m.... ....

    He should be, but the whole "pop" country is taking over and no one wants to listen to songs with meaning anymore..

  53. i.... ....

    very true. somewhere on youtube I seen new country described as bad rock with fiddles. And that's pretty much dead nuts on.

    i.... ....

    ih1206 I think it was Tom Petty who said that.

  54. V.... ....

    Alan, go listen to Taylor and Zac.

  55. V.... ....

    you can talk to me direct. I said clapton was married with Patty Harrison, and Sheryl crow was never serious, nor married to Eric. It was just 2 celeb's and the news. Never believe what the news says. It seems you read too much People mags. I have never heard of divorce, so I will look that up. but, you never proved it, why not?

  56. V.... ....

    cause we cant tell if we like it or not till we hear it you dimwit moron

  57. O.... ....

    I realize that now. I hoped Randy Houser would help bring some light to the current situation in Nashville, but I was wrong. Randy Houser singing that song is now as laughable as Eric's "Church's Country Music Jesus". I guess Randy decided not to release Waylon Woulda Kicked Your Ass considering how hypocritical it would be of him when you look at his other songs.

  58. r.... ....

    First as my mama sed if u aint got anything nice to say dont say anything at all and second at the end of the day no matter wat any1 says on here all the new country singer r selling right if they didnt country music would be dead true so shut up listen 2 the music and thank god there r still singer out around the world that wants 2 sing country music and lastly if u dont like him when serch for him in the serch boxs like

  59. A.... ....

    i second that partner haha

  60. D.... P....

    Do us all a favor Josh Thompson, come and show all the other "country" singers how to sing.

  61. D.... L....

    I just blasted 3 rabbits with my 12 gauge within city limits. I think I did my part and I'm good for tonight....

  62. D.... L....

    Just don't let my girlfriend, Megan, find out; she and I are so good together and she might not like tore up shit!

  63. D.... L....

    Yeah dude I'm way hammered right now, let's do it!

  64. B.... ....

    Josh Thompson isn't to bad, but as you said, compared to real country, his whole instrumental and the way he sings kinda sucks. But I seen him and good ole, country boy Rodney Atkins up in Selina Kansas. And another guy, but he really sucked. Compared to all? Rodney was obviously the best of the best there.

  65. V.... ....

    listen Red, you make no sense with your ranting, and none of it made any sense.

  66. V.... ....

    pure commercial bogus country.

  67. V.... ....

    luke bryon is pure pop for the little girls, and I guess young boys like you who want the girls. No, they both suck compared with real country.

  68. V.... ....

    hell girl, Randy Houser is just another who wants to drop names and sing about girls and red dirt roads and sex. No different then any other top 10 commercial country artists, who might sell albums, and expand country, but like Waylon said, todays country music is the 70's pop music with a twang..

  69. V.... ....

    so glad jjk doesn't meet up to your expectation. It would be a shame to start cloning you for sure. join lilady as prejudice and racist, and ignorant.

  70. V.... ....

    whatever he looks like is showing how prejudice and also racist you are. You should be deleted, and ashamed.

  71. V.... ....

    Where did you ever see that Eric Clapton, a married man To Patty Harrison, George's 1st wife, since the late 70's. I find you a liar till you prove that erroneous statement. And I agree with jjk, this is nothing like Waylon, and that is good, Waylon changed alt of people's minds not to sound like everybody else. This guy is good, obviously needs better management to make it to the big leagues. Sounds like E.Church, or any of the top 10 guys, who do have better managers.

  72. B.... S....

    Great song. Pretty much describes my life righ now lol

  73. E.... D....

    JOSH THOMPSON IS THE BEST....SONG WRITER, SINGER, PERFORMER AND JUST A NICE GUY. PLAY ON!

  74. f.... ....

    He just needs a better agent. He has potential to do big things. But I understand the point your making on Waylon. But its just a song. If you dont like it then dont click the link.

  75. j.... ....

    just trying to make a point about an artist that name drops a legendary american music icon...as if to put himself on the same page...to me, that's a little disrespectful...if he wants to do that, he better step up his game..

  76. j.... ....

    i am from the USA...i guess you think i'm a terrorist because i'm pointing out that this music doesn't resemble anything to do with the great waylon jennings, and is a cheap marketing ploy...nashville's burning down!!! like what you like...i heard about this guy and saw for myself...not my cup of tea!

  77. f.... ....

    @jjk19701 your one to talk . Look at you . You honestly think Josh Thompson cares about your opinion? And do

  78. j.... ....

    this video is the direct opposite of what Waylon represents in my mind...this video is the essence of what corporate eggheads want to push down everyone's throats...pablum. Normally, who cares? But why drag Jennings into this? Name drop a legend...do you think you could have shined his boots? Absolute garbage for the uninspired and unoriginal in my opinion!

  79. S.... F....

    SEXY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  80. b.... c....

    Best SoNG EvÅ

  81. T.... D....

    nothing wrong with the economy. Only so many jobs for retarded..

  82. W.... C....

    Good Old Song About Waylon My Name Is Waylon and It halfway Describes me! Please Subscribe To my YouTube Channel!

  83. J.... B....

    damn right im a johnny reb and you are aware that we (americans) were terrorists during the revolutionary war right?

  84. J.... B....

    dont send them to the middle of no where, im there and dont wanna have to listen to there shit

  85. c.... h....

    Want a real outlaw? Shooter and hank 3 and Jamey Johnson

  86. c.... h....

    Listen to Eric church's lotta boot left to fill sad he's singin with a prick like Aldean

  87. m.... ....

    irk!!!! this country would be better if he was president

  88. L.... ....

    Don't send them to the middle of nowhere. I don't want to deal with them.

  89. s.... ....

    I don't give a shit about what anyone thinks josh thompson is one of the best

  90. V.... ....

    doesnt' sound too bad, needs a better producer and production to put some electric into it, and less repeating Blaming on Waylon. Once or twice is enough.. Listen to more of his songs and do more comparisons between you and Waylon, just dont keep repeating it. Josh is at the Marion Popcorn festival south of Toledo Ohio on fridaay night, first weekend in Sept. I aint sure if I am going, but I'd rather hear this guy the boyz to men, they just arent my type at all.

  91. Q.... ....

    If you can't tell real country a part from todays mainstream pop don't give your 2-cents and if you're going to just stereotype someone for fucking their sister don't even watch country videos.

  92. C.... ....

    Do you want to give me some info to back it up?
    I saw an interview where he said he grew up on a cattle farm.

  93. j.... g....

    no he grew up workin on a pig farm if u r going to try to prove someone wrong do it with right information

  94. M.... C....

    Stfu....please.

  95. C.... ....

    Justin Moore grew up working on a cattle farm in a town with 200 people,hardly pampered.

  96. A.... C....

    I get to see him open for Blake Sheldon in 2 weeks!

  97. O.... ....

    Exactly! I'm sick of it too. You should listen to Randy Houser's song "Waylon Woulda Kicked Your Ass". I hope Randy releases that song soon because a lot of these self-named "outlaws" need to listen to that and quit trying to be something that they are not.

  98. J.... K....

    Why's it matter? Like the music for the music. Justin Bieber is a flaming queer, but all the girls still like him.
