I don't worry about a thing

Mose Allison

If this life is driving you to drink
sitting round wondering just what to think.
Well I've got some consolation for you,
I'll give it to you if I might.

I don't worry about a thing
because I know nothing's going to be alright.

You know this world's just one big trouble spot
because some have plenty and some have not.
You know, I used to be troubled
but I finally saw the light.

Now I don't worry about a thing
because I know nothing's going to be alright.

Don't waste your time trying to be a go getter,
things will get worse before they get any better.
You know there's always somebody
playing with dynamite,
but I don't worry about a thing
because I know nothing's going to be alright.
