Well some people say that I'm a no 'count. Others say I'm no good I'm just a natural-born travelin' man, doin' what I think I should Doin' what I think I should And I don't care about a greenback dollar, spend it as fast as I can For a wailin' song and a good guitar, the only things that I understand Oh yeah, the only things that I understand When I was a little baby, my momma told me, "Son, Go where you will and grow to be a man. Yeah sing what has to be sung I want you do what has to be done" I don't care about a greenback dollar, spend it as fast as I can For a wailin' song and a good guitar, the only things that I understand Oh yeah, the only things that I understand Well now, now that I'm a grown man, I've traveled here and there You know a bottle of brandy and a good guitar are the only things I care The only things I care I don't care about a greenback dollar, spend it as fast as I can For a wailin' song and a good guitar, the only things that I understand Hear me now, the only things that I understand
