I wrote this song after a few years of performing country/bluegrass, inspired by a combination of escapism and narcissism, this song is a caricature of my experience performing in blue collar honky tonks. The lyrics posted here have an additional verse from the recording.

lyrics

Don't go askin me for no assistance
I'm just follerin' the path of least resistance
Perpetuatin' my habitual existence
Prolly be best to keep your distance

Can't be bothered for no money bills to pay
I got women drink and smoke so I'll be OK
Won't be changin' spite those silly things you say
Can't be bothered this or any other day

Haven't done a responsible thing in years
Constantly on the run from petty fears
Haven't got much left between my ears
As I stand before you, fightin back these tears

Can't be bothered for no song and dance routine
I'll fuel the fire, just let me grab my gasoline
You won't see me out in public, too obscene
Can't be bothered to be nothin but a fiend

A scofflaw I have been at every turn
Those letters from the courthouse all got burned
Your attempts to rehabilitate me spurned
Aint no lesson I could ever learn
