[Verse 1] Providence is mine, man I'm going back to Rhode Island Where no one can find me And I will be hiding The Spirits are still alive You can hear them in the night And I'll make a fire With the wood from their pyre [Chorus] All of my troubles won't matter to me [Verse 2] In the stillness of my cabin Nothing much here happens But I still feel strange 'Cause I noticed I changed And what will you do With all of the hours And the ones after that When you're alone with your power [Chorus] All of my troubles won't matter to me [Verse 3] Night after night, we pretend it's alright
Turning our backs to the wall Day after day, it's always the same I can't decide which is worse [Instrumental] [Verse 4] One night I got lost In the wilderness of thought Like a senile child I was cold and distraught But I took a trip To forget my plight And the highway is a river That cuts through the night I know it's hard But we can't be scared The mess that they left us Can still be repaired They're dying for peace And k**ing for Jesus I don't watch the news 'Cause history repeats itself [Chorus] All of my troubles won't matter to me
