From the recording You before Me

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I used to fret what the neighbors said,
Polished me shoes and combed me head,
Stood up straight and kept the score—
Ah, but I don’t care anymore!

[Chorus]
No, I don’t care anymore!
Let ’em gossip, let ’em roar!
Gray in me beard, knees a bit sore—
Sing it loud—I don’t care anymore!

[Verse 2]
Doctor says, “Now watch your ale,”
So I watch it… as it leaves the pail.
He says, “Be good.” I say, “What for?”
Sure, I don’t care anymore!

[Chorus]
No, I don’t care anymore!
Raise it high and spill a pour!
If I fall, I’ll blame the floor—
Sing it loud—I don’t care anymore!

[Verse 3]
Tried to diet for a week or two,
Dreamed of salads, woke to stew.
Life’s too short to measure the pour—
And I don’t care anymore!

[Bridge]
When Saint Peter checks me slate,
He’ll say, “You’re late.” I’ll say, “Worth the wait!”

[Final Chorus] (big, rowdy)
No, I don’t care anymore!
Let the young lads chase the lore!
I’ve kissed regret and settled the score—
So sing it loud—
I don’t care…

Anymore!
