Lyal Strickland I Don't Care
Rich poor good and mean we've got it here
Most of us spent three lifetimes just grinding gears
I've been back home now for two years
I never went too far always stayed pretty near
It's in my blood it's in my tears
It's in my best of dreams it's all my fears
I've seen those signs pointing nowhere
I've heard those people say you can't stay there
Got no education no culture there
Maybe they're right but I don't care
I've heard there's lots of bank in lying
But I was raised just to keep on trying
I'm tired of the shape that I'm in
Sick of calling bad luck my friend
I guess there ain't no reason in reasoning
Aint' no formula for where I've been
I've seen those signs pointing nowhere
I've heard those people say you can't stay there
Got no education no culture there
Maybe they're right but I don't care
And when I finally go on my way
Leave behind all this dust I made
Lord grace all my debts be paid
You can bet where I stand is where I'll lay
I've seen those signs pointing nowhere
I've heard those people say you can't stay there
Got no education no culture there
Maybe they're right but I don't care
