I"m Not Gonna Let It Bother Me Tonight

by the Atlanta Rhythm Section



I picked up the paper this morning, and read all the daily blues.

The world is one big tragedy, I wonder what I can do...

About all the pain and injustice, about all of the sorrow,

We're living in a danger zone, the world could end tomorrow.



But I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight.

I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight.

Tomorrow I might go as far as suicide,

But I won't let it bother me tonight.



Life on the streets is a jungle, a struggle to keep up the pace.

I just can't beat that old dog-eat-dog, the raft keep winning the rat race.



But I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight.

I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight.



The world is an uproar and I can see no end in sight,

But I will not let it bother me tonight.

Lord, Lord, Lord, we got nothin' but trouble.

I've done all I can do today, so bartender pour me a double right now.



I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight.

I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight.

Tomorrow I might go as far as suicide,

But I won't let it bother me tonight.
