Not That Important

Why you knockin on my door I can't take that phone ringing any more I don't know if the world is round I can't say if Amelias been found I'm not that important I ain't you so I can't really say If you should go left or right today Questions, questions from every way Why ask me can't you hear what I say I'm not that important Our mommys and daddys raised us free Why the heck you pickin on me Not my job to get you dressed And I can't tell when you should rest I'm not that important This foot that foot wheres the park Is the sun shining or is it dark Where the heck did you park my car Can you have a drink in that there bar I'm not that important I just don't think that its all my job And I don't give a darn if you name your son Bob You partied all your money away Now its my job your bills to pay I'm not that important I need me a place where I can flee I need me an island sanctuary Maybe just a damp old cave Scared your gonna follow me to my grave I'm not that important Heres some truth for you to hear It's your life...is that clear Pickup the reins of your ride Just live your life quit tryin to hide Cause you ain't that important
