1. PORTERVILLE


It's been an awful long time since I been home
But you won't catch me goin' back down there alone
Things they said when I was young are quite enough to get Me hung

I don't care! I don't care!
They came and took my Dad away to serve some time
But it was me that paid the debt he left behind
Folks said I was full of sin, because I was the next of kin
I don't care! I don't care!

Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo!
I don't care! I don't care!

Folks were out one night to put me up a fence
And you can guess that I've been runnin' ever since
Ain't no one that's 'bout to help, and I'll keep on, I tell Myself

I don't care! I don't care!
I don't care! I don't care!
I don't care! I don't care!

Ain't no one that's 'bout to help
And I'll keep on, I tell myself

I don't care! I don't care!
I don't care! I don't care!
I don't care! I don't care!
I don't care! I don't care!
I don't care! I don't care!




2. CALL IT PRETENDING


What would you have me do
Just turn and walk out on you
And leave you standing there
Pretending I don't care
When you know as well as I
That would be nowhere

Shouldn't I be with you
What would you have me say
After I walk away
Would it be the end
Or just a second wind
For the good old song that we use to call pretending
Shouldn't I be with you

It's not the first time that you had me turn away
I don't know it won't be the last time
But you got to say you got to
Should we make a brand new start
Or are you gonna break my heart
And leave me standing there

Pretending I don't care
When you know as well as I
That would get us nowhere
Will it be the end
Or just a second wind
For the good old song that we use to call pretending

Shouldn't I be with you
Shouldn't I be with you
