I Don’t Mind
Little rosewood casket
And an empty kiss
I didn’t picture
Days like this
My mamma told me
When I was young
Hold your head up high
Don’t wait on any one
But I don’t mind
I don’t mind this old world
Some days are good
Some get bad
I still remember
Those days I had
Stranded on the sidelines
Heart full of rage
And just an old hound dog
Asking my age
But I don’t mind
I don’t mind this old world
Everywhere I turn
There’s some kind of screen
Trick ponies and old hogs
Spilling gasoline
Then the money dogs chase you
And that don’t seem right
After dreaming all day
And working all night
But I don’t mind
I don’t mind this old world
Cheap smokes, fireworks
Whiskey and worms
So many ways you can
Live on your own terms
The sun is blazing hot now
And the water did rise
But I still have
Tears of joy in my eyes
But I don’t mind
I don’t mind this old world
If I had one wish
I would make it true
I would save this
Old world for you
It’s been said
Many times before
But I don’t think it will hurt
To say it once more
But I don’t mind
I don’t mind this old world
No, I don’t mind
I don’t mind this old world
