Little rosewood casket

& 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


& 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


& that don't seem right


After dreaming all day

& working all night





But I don't mind

I don't mind this old world




Cheap smokes, fireworks


Whiskey & worms

So many ways you can

Live on your own terms




The sun is blazing hot now


& 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
