It's been an awful long time since I 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 hungI don't care, I don't careThey 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 kinI don't care, I don't careI don't care, I don't careFolks 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 'bout to help
And I'll keep on, I tell myselfI don't care, I don't careI don't care, I don't care
I don't care, I don't careAin't no one that's 'bout to help
And I'll keep on, I tell myselfI 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 careI 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
