John Mellencamp - No One Cares About Me lyrics

Well my wife she took off to Memphis With some fella from our little town My mother's at home up in Baltimore And my daddy is down in the ground It gets awfully cold here in the winter Hot and humid in the summer time I got laid off on account there's no work for me Now I'm in the unemployment line No one cares about me No one cares about me No one cares about me at all If I had to guess It's because I'm spotty at best No one cares about me at all Well my kids they've all scattered Went lookin' for a better life Lost one of my boys to the drug man It's the only time I've cried in my life And I knew an old guy once He was kind of my friend But he smoked himself to d**h And they buried him out at Riverview Now I'm all that I've got left No one cares about me No one cares about me No one cares about me at all If I had to guess It's because I'm spotty at best No one cares about me at all Some day I'll go look up my brother He lives a few miles from here Haven't talked to him in quite some time I guess it's been six or seven years Well he works out there at the cannery And I think he makes a pretty good pay His wife she never thought too much of me So I just stayed away No one cares about me No one cares about me No one cares about me at all If I had to guess It's because I'm spotty at best No one cares about me at all Well it's hard to say what kind of fella I am But most the time nothing goes my way I must have done something pretty wrong But I still think it will work out okay There surely must be some angels around the bend And they're trying to get to me I'll catch up with them pretty soon But for now no one cares about me No one cares about me No one cares about me No one cares about me at all If I had to guess It's because I'm spotty at best No one cares about me at all
