Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Been an awful long tim[G]e
since [D]I been home
But you won't catch me going
back down there [C]alone
Things they said when I was young are
[G]quite enough to get me [D]hung

[Verse 2]
(I don't care, I don't care)
[D]They came and took my dad
[C]away [D]to serve some time
But it was me that paid
the debt he left behind
[C]Folks said I was full of sin,
[G]'cause I was the next of [D]kin
(I don't care, I don't care)

[Verse 3]
[D]Ooh- ooh- ooh- ooh- ooh- ooh
(I don't care, I don't care)

[Verse 4]
Folks were out one night to put [D]me
up a fence
And you can guess that I've
been run[C]ning [D]ever [C]since
Ain't no one that's 'bout to help
But [G]I'll keep on, I tell my[D]self
(I don't care,
[F]I d[C]on'[Eb]t ca[Bb]re)[D]

[Verse 5]
(I don't care, I don't care)
(I don't care, I [C]don't care)

[Verse 6]
Ain't no one that's 'bout to help [G]But
I'll keep on, I tell my[D]self
I don't care, I don't care
I don't care,
I don't care (ooh- ooh- ooh- ooh- ooh- ooh)
I don't care, I don't care
I don't care (ooh- ooh- ooh- ooh- ooh- ooh), I
don't care
I don't care, I don't care
I don't care,
I don't care (ooh- ooh- ooh- ooh- ooh- ooh)
I don't care, I don't [D]care
I don't care, I don't care
