The Statler Brothers Lyrics
"What Do I Care"

(Johnny Cash)

When I'm all through if I haven't been what they think I should be
If the total isn't high enough when they figure me
When I grow old if there's no gray from worry in my hair
What do I care, what do I care?

What do I care just as long as you were mine a little while
When the road was long and weary you gave me a few good miles
What do I care if I miss a goal because I make a slip
I'll still be satisfied because I tasted your sweet lips.

What do I care if I never have much money
And sometimes my table looks a little bare
Anything that I may miss is made up for each time we kiss
You were mine for a little while so what do I care?

--- Instrumental ---

What do I care if I never have much money
And sometimes my table looks a little bare
Anything that I may miss is made up for each time we kiss
You were mine for a little while so what do I care?

You were mine for a little while so what do I care?...
