Things That I Been Blamed For Lyrics

Put some patches on my ragged clothes, put some braids in my hair
Trim my hat with a yellow rose, tell everybody adios, best be getting’ on outta here
Going marching down to the walls of Jericho, might be back in a year or two right now I just don’t know
It’s gotten to the point I can’t handle it no more
I can’t outrun the things I done, the things that I been blamed for

You may find me at some crossroads, unraveling my tangled mind
If I’m shivering would you share your coat, help me bear this load?
Just ride me on down the line
Going out a searchin’ for the lost tribe of Israel
I got to lay my burden down, I’m hurtin’, can’t you tell?
It’s gotten to the point I can’t handle it no more
I can’t outrun the things I done, the things that I been blamed for

I’m going wanderin out in the wilderness
Tryin’ to find some peace of mind, in vain I must confess
It’s gotten to the point I can’t handle it no more
I can’t outrun the things I done, the things that I been blamed for
I can’t outrun the things I done, the things that I been blamed for

The Light Outlives the Star

Put some patches on my ragged clothes, put some braids in my hair
Trim my hat with a yellow rose, tell everybody adios, best be getting’ on outta here
Going marching down to the walls of Jericho, might be back in a year or two right now I just don’t know
It’s gotten to the point I can’t handle it no more
I can’t outrun the things I done, the things that I been blamed for
 
You may find me at some crossroads, unraveling my tangled mind
If I’m shivering would you share your coat, help me bear this load?
Just ride me on down the line
Going out a searchin’ for the lost tribe of Israel
I got to lay my burden down, I’m hurtin’, can’t you tell?
It’s gotten to the point I can’t handle it no more
I can’t outrun the things I done, the things that I been blamed for
 
I’m going wanderin out in the wilderness
Tryin’ to find some peace of mind, in vain I must confess
It’s gotten to the point I can’t handle it no more
I can’t outrun the things I done, the things that I been blamed for
I can’t outrun the things I done, the things that I been blamed for

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
