I Don't Mind Failing

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 mind failing in this world,

I don't mind failing in this world,

Don't mind wearing the ragged britches

'Cause those who succeed are the sons of bitches,

I don't mind failing in this world.

I don't mind failing in this world,

I don't mind failing in this world,

I'll stay down with the raggedy crew,

'Cause getting up there means stepping on you, so

I don't mind failing in this world.

I don't mind failing in this world,

I don't mind failing in this world,

Somebody else's definition

Isn't going to measure my soul's condition,

I don't mind failing in this world.

I don't mind failing in this world,

I don't mind failing in this world,

Never mind the custom suits,

The gentle hearts wear the dusty boots, so

I don't mind failing in this world.

I don't mind failing in this world,

I don't mind failing in this world,

Some people ride in a car so fine

While others walk on a picket line, so

I don't mind failing in this world.

I don't mind failing in this world,

I don't mind failing in this world,

Don't mind wearing the ragged britches

'Cause those who succeed are the sons of bitches,

I don't mind failing in this world.
