Текст песни I Don't Care Anymore - Rodney Crowell

I used to pull my britches on,
With just one thing in mind
Make the girls believe that I'm
The last one of my kind
Silver toe tips on my boots
And a mullet head a hair
Designed to walk into the room
And make somebody stare
But I don't care anymore
If I don't stand out in a crowd
I was better off before
I tried to make my mother proud
I came to town a dreamin'
I could make my mark in spades
Forty odd years later
All my best cards have been played
Well it's a hard knock situation
When the accolades bestow
On your every last creation
Cries out middle of the road
But I don't care anymore
About the fortune or the fame
I was better off before
I tried to make myself a name
All that money that I blew through
Like some boot black off the farm
Could not have vanished quicker
If I'd have shot it in my arm
Some so and so says don't you know,
The limit is the sky?
The next thing I remember,
I'm a learnin' how to fly
But I don't care anymore
All those party dolls and favors
That I savoured from day one
Add up to next to nothin'
After all is said and done
A real friend tried to tell me,
"Man, with all respect for you,
The time to put away these things
Is long since overdue"
If indeed I do get lonesome
In my mansion on the hill,
There's this neighbor's wife I covet
For her beauty and her skill
The way she puts herself together,
Sleek and vagabond couture
Makes each mailbox conversation
One more heartache to endure
But i dont care anymore
Who does what and why
I was better off before
When I was just another guy
I've been lied on, spied on,
Cried on, tried on,
Taken for a ride, you bet.
Fracked, cracked, smack, jack,
What you see is what you get.
I've been spit at, hit at,
Quit at, shit at,
Shouldn't a went and did that,
What I'm tryin' to get at
Fool me once, shame on me,
Fool me twice, I put blame on
I don't care anymore
No I don't care anymore
