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
