I Don't Care
Trinix Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Came into the city
From the deep south
When the mills shut down
I married a man who treated me
Like he bought me by the pound

Came into the city
From the deep south
When the mills shut down
I married a man who treated me
Like he bought me by the pound

Then I came into the city
From the deep south
When the mills shut down
I married a man who treated me
Like he bought me by the pound

Then I m...
Hmm
Then I m...
Hmm
Then I m...
East
Then I got
I don't care
East
Then I got
I don't care
East
Then I got
I don't care
East
Then I got
Id go very far

Came into the city
From the deep south
When the mills shut down
I married a man who treated me
Like he bought me by the pound

Then I told me with my good looks
I'd go very far
I met a guy smooth as silk
In a midtown bar

Came into the city
From the deep south
When the mills shut down




I married a man who treated me
Like he bought me by the pound
