Lyrics
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 of 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 bestowed
On your every last creation cryin' south 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'da 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 unlearning how to fly
But I don't care anymore
All those carded dolls and favors that I savored 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 don't care anymore
Who does what and why
I was better off before
When I was just another guy
I been lied on, spied on, cried on
Tried on, taken for a ride, you bet
Frack, crack, smack, jack, what you see is what you get
I been spit at, hit at, quit at, shit at, shouldn't ita bit at
What I'm tryin' to get at, you fool me once, shame on me
Fool me twice and put the blame on I don't care anymore
No, I don't care anymore
