Lyrics

[Verse 1]

It's been an awful long time since I've been home

But, you won't catch me goin' back down there alone

Things they said when I was young

Are quite enough to get me hung

[Chorus]

I don't care

I don't care

[Verse 2]

They came and took my Dad away to serve some time

But, it was me that paid the debt he left behind

Folks said I was full of sin

Because I was the next of kin

[Chorus]

I don't care

I don't care

[Chorus]

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

I don't care

I don't care

[Verse 3]

Folks were out one night to put me up a fence

And, you can guess that I've been runnin' ever since

Ain't no one that's about to help

But, I'll keep on, and I tell myself

[Chorus]

I don't care

I don't care

[Chorus]

I don't care

I don't care

I don't care

I don't care

[Chorus]

Ain't no one that's about to help

But, I'll keep on, and I tell myself

I don't care

I don't care

I don't care

I don't care

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

I don't care

I don't care

I don't care

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

I don't care

I don't care

I don't care

I don't care

I don't care

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

I don't care

I don't care

I don't care

I don't care

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

I don't care

I don't care
