(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
