(Jay Knowles/Wynn Varble)



I could say it's all her fault

She never had any patience at all

I'm a complicated guy

And she didn't try to understand



I could claim I had nothing to do

With the fact I'm lonesome and blue

But that wouldn't be true

I'm a self made man



Yeah I'm the one that fooled around

And let the one who loved me down

She had more of me than she could stand

I blamed everyone but me

But now that it's too late I see

Nobody helped me get to where I am

I'm a self made man



I could blame it on the way I was raised

Or I could say I was just to afraid

To lay my heart in somebody else's hands

I could always make one more excuse

But in the end what's the use

I might as well face

I'm a self made man



Yeah I'm the one that fooled around

And let the one who loved me down

She had more of me than she could stand

I blamed everyone but me

But now that it's too late I see

Nobody helped me get to where I am

I'm a self made man



Oh I blamed everyone but me

But now that its to late I see

Nobody helped me get to where I am

I'm a self made man

Self made man

Self made man

I can't blame anybody but me
