My dear stop complaining My patience is waning I don't give a damn anymore For 6 years I waited Angry and frustrated I don't give a damn anymore I've been locked up, been locked down I've been held up in a showdown I waited for you all the while My gal I've been drifting From Raleigh to Reno My blood summons me to the road My look's never good But I did what I could I don't give a damn anymore I've been held up in bus stops I've been lonesome in land lock And I thought of you all the while Your rope's getting tighter My standards are higher I don't give a damn anymore Oh stiff boots and rawhide I'm done with my old life I don't give a damn anymore I've been locked up been locked down I've been held up in a showdown I waited for you all the while I've been stood up been broke down I've been better back in this town I'll saddle up soon and be gone I'll saddle up soon and be gone
