John Cockers

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I don't accommodate nobody

I just take care of myself

Gotta house down on a dusty road

I don't need nobody else

I gotta wife and some kids

I don't know where they're at

I know many many people

But I ain't got no friends

Well I used to have some values

Now they just make me laugh

I used to think things

Would work out fine

But they never did do that

All these bosses and the rules

It's hard for me to fit in

Must be ten million people

But I ain't got no friends

Well I'm a little isolated

I live most days in my head

And when I go to sleep at night

I got no sheets on my bed

I'm a little hard headed

I can't wait for this to end

I see people coming and going

But I ain't a got no friends

Well I look out of my window

Into the darkness of night

My head gets to spinning

So I shut out the light

I don't care if I see tomorrow

If I had a reason I'd pretend

I know one thing for certain

I ain't a got no friends

Well one of these days my anger

Get the best of my soul

In one desperate moment

I'm gonna dig me a hole

I'm gonna lie down in it

And let be what will be

When the morning sun rises

There'll be no one to mourn for me

When the morning sun rises

There'll be no one to mourn for me

I don't accommodate nobody

I just take care of myself

Gotta little house on a dusty road

And I don't need nobody else

I gotta wife and some kids

I don't know where they're at

I know many many people

But I ain't got no friends
