Composer: Roger D. Linder
Date Written: 3/13/1975
A broken down mattress and an old box spring That's my room in the old West wing A woman in my heart and another in bed I she catches me with her, I'm as sure as dead But I live for today, don't worry about tomorrow Don't wanna think what will happen, it'll bring me too much sorrow An empty six-pack lying to my side One look at me, you'd think I might have died I wake myself up with a familiar snore I feel like I've been stepped on while asleep on the floor But I live for today, don't worry about tomorrow Don't wanna think what will happen, it'll bring me too much sorrow I open up my wallet and pull out my last bill Then I go to my main dealer for some poppin' pills I really don't care where my money comes from It always seems to work out that I always have some 'Cause I live for today, don't worry about tomorrow Don't wanna think what will happen, it'll bring me too much sorrow Don't worry about nothing Don't worry about nothing Don't worry about nothing Don't worry about nothing

Commentary
