Bessie I Don’t Blame You Lyrics by John Gallagher, Jr.

Six Day Hurricane

2016

You got my grandmother's first name
And two hands I ain't never shook
You got my grandmother's first name
And two hands I ain't never shook
You got me shakin' all over
Don't believe me, honey? Just take a look
I got a big crash pad
And some records in a plastic crate
I got a big crash pad
And some records in a plastic crate
Some are warped in the grooves
But all the others sound really great
I wake up when I wake up
I don't make too many plans
Said I wake up when I wake up and
I don't make too many plans
Sometimes I open my eyes
And I have no idea where I am
I drink on my own
But if you want to pull on up a chair
I mostly drink all alone
But if you want to pull on up a chair
It's just as well if you don't wanna
'Cause I don't really care
(JUMP!)
I've fallen in love
About 700 times in a day
I think I've fallen in love
About 700 times in a day
I'm gonna fall in love tomorrow
Like I did today and yesterday
What they don't tell you about freedom
Is that it can be lonely as hell
What they don't warn you about freedom
Is that it can be lonely as hell
So the world may be my oyster
But I am only a shell
S-S-So Bessie, I don't blame you
If you don't want me for your man
Now I said, Bessie, I don't blame you
If you don't want me for you man
I am a lifetime away from perfect
But I do the best that I can
I am a lifetime away from perfect
But I do the best that I can
I am a lifetime away from perfect
But I do the best that I can
