It's been an awful long time
Since I been home
But you won't catch me going back
Down there alone
Things they said when I was young
Are quite enough to get me hung
I don't care
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
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
Folks were out one night
To put me up a fence
And you can guess that I've been running
Ever since
Ain't no one that's about to help
And I'll keep on, I tell myself
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
Ain't no one that's about to help
And I'll keep on, I tell myself
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
