Johnny C. Lately - Party Like I Just Don't Care Lyrics

I'm gonna tie my monkey to the railroad track
I'm gonna walk away and I won't look back
I'm gonna find the Devil and buy back my soul
Cause it's never too late and you're never too old

I'm gonna party like I just don't care
Party like I just don't care
Cause Life ain't long and Life ain't fair

I'm gonna lose my shoes and grow my hair
I'm gonna talk to myself like there's no one there
I'm gonna jump in the river to beat the heat
I'm gonna keep on dancin' while I still have feet

I'm gonna party like I just don't care
Party like I just don't care
So hold your hat and grab a chair

You can keep on workin' but you won't be free
Nobody knows that better than me
So, I believe I'll have another beer
I can hear Bukowski whisper in my ear

I'm gonna party like I just don't care
Party like I just don't care
You can join or just sit and stare

Ain't gonna shine my shoes or comb my hair
I'm not even gonna wear clean underwear
Cause no one knows how it all ends
And we may never pass this way again

So let's party like we just don't care
Party like we just don't care
Some folks may think we're already there

Hell, yeah. Oh, no
Party like we just don't care
Cause there ain't no other place to go
