I said "I don't give a fuck"

We went up and we went down
And she wanted to get out of town
We were on a rollercoaster, they go nowhere
They just land you back on the ground

God-God-God damn the girl was fine
And I was glad to call her mine
She weren't mine and I weren't hers
I lost her at the five and dime

She was talking to a 6'5" ex-marine
Who was living out his truck
