Party Like I Just Don’t Care
© September 10, 2018
by Woodrow Thomas

I’m gonna tie my monkey to the railroad track.
I’m gonna walk away and I won’t look back.
I’m gonna find the Devil and buy back my soul,
Cause it’s never too late and you’re never too old.

I’m gonna party like I just don’t care.
Party like I just don’t care,
Cause Life ain’t long and Life ain’t fair.

I’m gonna lose my shoes and grow my hair.
I’m gonna talk to myself like there’s no one there.
I’m gonna jump in the river to beat the heat.
I’m gonna keep on dancin’ while I still have feet.

I’m gonna party like I just don’t care.
Party like I just don’t care.
So hold your hat and grab a chair.

You can keep on workin’ but you won’t be free.
Nobody knows that better than me.
So, I believe I’ll have another beer.
I can hear Bukowski whisper in my ear.

I’m gonna party like I just don’t care.
Party like I just don’t care.
You can join or just sit and stare.

Ain’t gonna shine my shoes or comb my hair.
I’m not even gonna wear clean underwear.
Cause no one knows how it all ends,
And we may never pass this way again.

So let’s party like we just don’t care.
Party like we just don’t care.
Some folks may think we’re already there.

Hell, yeah. Oh, no.
Party like we just don’t care,
Cause there ain’t no other place to go.
