I Don't Care (If Tomorrow Never Comes)
Hank Williams Jr. · The Pressure Is On [1981]
This world holds nothing for me
I've been lonely night and day ever since you went away
So I don't care if tomorrow never comes
If tomorrow never comes and the sun don't ever shine
It won't matter with me
For when she ran away, my world ended that day
So I don't care if tomorrow never comes
My lonely mind wanders back to days that used to be
My broken heart cries out for you
Oh, if I can't have you here, I can't go on, my dear
So I don't care if tomorrow never comes
If tomorrow never comes and the sun don't ever shine
It won't matter with me
For when she ran away, my world ended that day
So I don't care if tomorrow never comes
If tomorrow never comes and the sun don't ever shine
It won't matter with me
For when she ran away, my world ended that day
So I don't care if tomorrow never comes
