i climbed up the mountain, i sailed across the sea
but it don't matter anymore to me
i sent my money to the preacher man, i prayed for the lottery
but it don't matter anymore to me
everybody has somewhere else they think they wanna be
but it don't matter anymore to me
i visited the gypsy, i visited the shrink
but it don't matter anymore to me
i drank bourbon whiskey like it was goin' extinct
everybody has someone else they think they wanna be
but it don't matter anymore to me
i jeopardized my friends and my own mental health
just tryin' to defend my own opinion of myself
i gave it all my money, i gave it all my time
but i don't know why
tried to please everybody all of the time
but it don't matter anymore to me
you no sooner change yourself then they change their mind
it don't matter anymore to me
everybody knows someone else they think you oughta' be
it don't matter anymore to me
