Who Cares

v1

I'll Never forget
that night at the local
honky tonk.
When my best friend bet
me $300
that I just might
keep my big mouth shut.
Things went fine for about 20
minutes
But after a beer or two or three
I was standing on one leg
singing outdated
karaoke.
By Last call
I had exceeded everyone's worst fears
with a $500 tab was I worried?
I said another round
bar-keep.
Who cares.

I said -

Chorus:

Who cares about politics
Who cares about the worries of life.
Who cares about the kids, the car,
the dog, or even the wife.
Who cares about taxes or the royal flush.
Who cares about the latest fad
or Gina's latest crush.
Who cares about the weather
who cares if I have no luck.
I'm gonna let it ride
I'll even bet my pickup truck.

V2


2 hours later as I was walking home
without my keys I realized I should
never have done this.
I came to ask myself
Why do I always end up so drunk?
