I Don't Mind

i don’t mind
the wind and rain
i’ve bÕn walkin’ these streets
since i was 18
couldn’t see eye to eye
with my family
i don’t mind
the wind and rain
i don’t mind
the holes in my shoes
i don’t see things
as win or lose
i think we’re all
just singing the blues
i don’t mind
the holes in my shoes
and i’ve said things i’d take back if i could
and i’ve done things that caused a world of hurt
and i’ve been to the bottom of the deepest well
and that was hell, yes, I’ve seen hell…
headed out west
to the golden gate bridge
got me a job
taking care of the sick
knew all along
that i’d never be rich
i headed out west
to the golden gate bridge
now i live in a house
got my own room
my landlady’s t.v.
is the voice of doom
the end is coming
any day soon
i live in a house
got my own room
— chorus —
once there was a love
and we had a son
the dream blew apart
and then there was none
if wishes were horses
I’d saddle and run
once there was a love
and we had a son
i don’t mind
the holes in my shÈs
i don’t sÕ things
as win or lose
i think we’re all
just singing the blues
i don’t mind
the holes in my shoes
