Atlanta Rhythm Section - I'm Not Gonna Let It Bother Me Tonight Lyrics

It’s like country rock mixed with pop music. Reminds me of ozark mtn daredevils

My new theme song 🎸 Perfect for these troubled times.

The rats keep winning the rat race

Never hear this EXCELLENT record on so called Classic Rock stations around today..nothing but schlock garbage with most good deep cuts buried on YouTube...saddd

Love this album!!

I can't imagine any song having as perfect a life philosophy (imo) as this one. Perfect masterpiece

Thanks for putting this on, it's been years since I heard this lp! LOVE ARS!

Great song.
Remember hearing at fsu 30 plus years ago. Now I'm 59 with cancer and the song has become my anthem 😛 Go Seminoles. Please don't let me die on another loosing season.

Sound sucks! Great song.

I saw these guys in concert in 1979! It's sounds just like the world now!!! Great song!

Southern Rock!

Possibly the most underrated song of the rock era. Man does it speak to me even today

probably more today than 1978

This song still relevant in 2019

My favorite ARS song.

Tomorrow for suicide is always the best option

The Champagne Jam concert throw downs in the ATL was awesome back in the day

Remember this? Uh, yeah. Right.

Just good ole pure southern rock.nothing like it now days. ARS and WKLS. Long live southern rock.

Fits in perfect with ? "Why Get up"..buy the fabulous thunderbirds?

Southern Comfort!!

..about all the Liberals...

1978 High School ARS, Boston, Frampton
I wore the grooves off this album

Listening to it today and it seems so prophetic

"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 of all of the sorrow?
We're living in a danger zone, where will all live tomorrow ?
Well I'm not gonna let it bother me tonite.....

Life on the street is a jungle, I struggle to keep up the pace
I just can't beat that old dog eat dog, the rats keep winning the rat race...

Well I'm not gonna let it bother me tonite.....


1978 2019 not much has changed, it's still the same BS
I'd rather be back in 78 , life seemed to be so much simpler...

16 yrs old great music

Check out my new, improved uploads of this album added yesterday: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yITsLi9G2eQ&list=PLz6cAheObZcgMJjbZLtwiChcNp5jLNYEt

How can I set up a phone interview with one of the original members of A.R.S. on my 19 year running syndicated FM radio show? ( based in Ashland Oregon)

I seen ARS many times in the 70s and 80s...awesome performers! the last time was an evening with ARS...no backup band, ...it was, a large time for sure!

Damn I miss this kind of music

Hi Gene, I'm in the process of uploading all the band's albums on my channel, so check 'em out! Lots of Allman Brothers there as well. Best music ever made!

Thank you very much, Southern Rocker. 12/27/2018. Love this sooooo much!

my goodness this song sent the chills up the spine the same way it did when i first heard it. goodness i was 16 then and now 55... some things touch you. this one does. love this song.

I bought this cassette tape when the album first came out and literally wore it out listening to an under rated band. These guys kicked ass! I am glad I grew up in a time when music like this was being made! Thanks Southern Rocker!

Me too Todd, we were spoiled in the '70's, Amen!

My favorite A.R.S. song. Have not heard it on the radio for decades perhaps. All though it mentions suicide, I find this an upbeat song.

Goddam storm crow..m

My favorite album! True Southern Rock!

The anthem of the 2018 and 2020 elections results!

Let's hope America still has a conscience and hasn't forgotten the difference between right and wrong...

Shizz this good doesn't ever go out....it comes back and back...

This song is goood for right now........this world is a clusterfuck of greed! Good music ALS......Lord Lord Lord....we got nothin but trouble....💜

ARS needs to be played on the Classic rock stations.

97.1 in Atlanta doesn't play this! And they claim to be the best classic rock station, lol!

Very Good Song.

Radio hit, junior year of high school. Memories.

One of thier best songs

These guys will never go out of style. I loved this song when I was eighteen and I totally dig it at 57 ...lol...

Stoner Page: Me, too.

+ Stoner Page Me too! I've always liked ARS for years. They never grow old.

Me too. Saw them at Nocalulu Falls in '78 and still love em.

me too, wish I could give you 1,00,000 thumbs up

There is not a band our today that can even hang with these guys...music today fucking sucks horse cock.....

Always liked and played this song! ARS FOREVER!!

new years eve 1981...boutwell audotorium in birmingham, alabama.awsome concert. got a cowboy hat from the lead singer as a prize...at midnight they poured out champagne to the front row folks. these guys were alot of fun to go see.

I saw them last year. Of course, some are no longer with us, but they still put on a great show!

Damn good song!

Not tonight!!

One of my favorite songs. Period...

so fine plus ultra

Loved this tune back in the late seventies. Never hear it at all on the oldies station. It's like Gerry Rafferty. They play stuck in the middle with you forever, but you never hear clips from ferguslie park when he sang with stealers wheel. Atlanta rhythm section was a great band.

I still have a question?..How did houdini die?

tru dat

Play this every night in your life, and everything will be all right.

Absolutely correct sir, well almost! It definitely will help!

Especially, if your drunk and it's New Years! PROST!

ARS is damn good shit. Why can't they make music anywhere near this quality now???

lonecrapshooter67 yeah like ARS.

It's being made, but the corporate pop music "all songs must be the same" mentality won't allow it on the radio or spend the money to market it. I don't care what the misguided youth of today say-- their pop music is mass produced, synthetic blended 98% mindless garbage. I give them 2% for the rare good stuff that sneaks through.

TheJorgSacul. I hear ya!

On this day in 1978 {August 18th} the Atlanta Rhythm Section performed "I'm Not Gonna To Let It Bother Me Tonight" on the NBC-TV late-night musical variety program 'The Midnight Special'...
At the time the song was in it's second of two weeks at #14 on Billboard's Hot Top 100, that was also it's peak position on the chart, and it spent 13 weeks on the Top 100...
It reached #15 on the Canadian RPM Singles chart...
Between 1974 and 1981 the group had fourteen records on the Top 100 chart, two made the Top 10 and they both peaked at #7, "So In To You" for 3 weeks in 1977 and "Imaginary Lover" for 1 week in 1978...
They had three Top 20 records, besides "I'm Not Gonna To Let It Bother Me Tonight", the other two were "Do It Or Die" {#19 in 1979} and "Spooky" {#17 in 1979}...

Saw ARS twice in the 70's. GREAT BAND Live!

A superb band of musicians, I wish I had been able to see them. Unfortunately, most of them are gone now...

Yeah not gonna let work bother me tonight. Singing it at work all week.Felt a whole lot better

Southern rocker.Curious who might you be.If you dont mind.

You have aroused my curiosity.

Always liked their sound. Good band

This song helped me thru a lot of hard times n my life...I love these guys and paul goddard? I think thats his name is/was a great bass player...There are a lot of good and very bad memories in this song....

Great Southern music!

Thanks Connie, I agree. Check out my channel for more!

Why do today's Classic Rock stations refuse to play this good band? I remember this song very well when FM Rock stations played it! A very under rated band! Some members came from the Classics IV! I was 19 and in the military in Tacoma, Washington when I first heard this incredible song on KZOK-FM in 1978!

I loved them. But most people my age at that time had no idea who they were. I was 15 in 78, and I had different taste in music.

Saw Dennis Yost play keyboards on Spooky with ARS at state fair in late 90s. What a show.

@omzig18 KZ 106 is the BEST! They were back in the day too! I used to go out to their old studios late at night when the overnight DJ and I knew each other (we went to high school together). I'd sit in the studio with him, trying to be quite as a mouse. Later, he'd put on the long version of Lynyrd Syknyrd's "Free Bird" and we'd walk out to the towers and just talk. After his shift, we'd go to breakfast at Waffle House and go to our separate homes. Innocent and fun times with my buddy.

@omzig18 kz106 STILL rocks!

So true..such TRASH on so called Classic Rock stations around today..No deep cuts and so much good stuff buried underground...sad

Thanks Southern Rocker for posting this. You just can't get Ronnie Hammond on Amazon Music. God, I love his voice. To me, he is THE voice of ARS.

Ronnie's the only singer I've ever heard with the band. I can't imagine anyone else! He was gone far too soon. RIP Ronnie...

Yeah thanks! Haven't heard this since 1978/1979 while stationed in Ft Walton Florida.

Man what an underated band.
Excellent! Really tight and smooth.

Thanks, you are right on there.

les covington love the chord progressions, isn't it great

+lonecrapshooter67 do they play instead

Way underrated!!

The cool thing about this band is that the rhythm guitar is like another drummer. Right in the pocket. This is the signature of ARS.

I like when He says Aim not bother m e , tom mow I might go as suicide  ,

Can't believe it;  I think it's a continuation of Brexit.  Is a return of nationalistic, protectionist economic policies even possible?  I would hedge my bets.

I like when he says Aim not gonna let it bother me tonight , tomorrow  I might go as far suicide, a Lot of your older rock n roll is still the best music and lyrics.

You are so right, man! The lyrics resonated our 60's, 70's and 80's philosophies!!! We just wanted to be happy!

I like Champagne jam as well as this one! Loved the bands sound anyway.

ww3 in the cards? Hillary Rotten Clinton the war monger!

What are you an idiot

The world is in an uproar and I see no end in sight.   So true.

What politician doesn't?

But im not gonna let it bother me tonight.
No, im not!

@les covington Nice!

@Southern Rocker Trump is doing something to fix the situation. I hope youll be joining us in reelecting him. ;p
