Lyrics
It's Not Me It's You by Brian Hazelbower and Robert (couch grouch) George Sam knows it's no use-a-lyin' he'd been out past the moon with Brian Drainin an a crushin Old Milwaukee cans But he downs two more Alka-Seltzer stumbles up to his wife and tells her He's sorry he got “honey I got held up at the plant” But she filled an old suitcase and their future won't fit inside An as she leaves the look on her face says to his bloodshot eyes It's not me it's you it's hard to say but it's true And since you'll never change I'll do what I gotta do Cos it's not me it's you The jar on the bar is full of jerky and Sam's drunken jokes are down n dirty An Brian can't even, look up and laugh Later on Sam's barely standin, but Brian ain't touched what Sam’s been buyin and he settles up for a, a half-finished draft He trembles as he shakes Sam’s hand says buddy we've shared our last drink My fam'ly gave me justa one more chance but it’s only cos they think It's not me it's you it's sad to say but it's true And since you'll never change I'll do what I gotta do Cos it's not me it's you Well Sam’s sittin home with twelve empty beer Judgin him like a jury of his peers Wonders how he came to be this kinda man Then something snaps inside as he looks at those cans an he says It's not me it's you it’s hard to see but it’s true And since you'll never change I'll do what I gotta do Cos it's not me it's you I’m finally seein what’s true And since you'll never change I'll do what I gotta do Cos it's not me it's you It’s you ooh it’s you
