Lyrics

Some people say I'm a no-count
 Others say I'm no good
 But I'm just a natural born travellin' man
 Doin' what I think I should, oh yeah
 Doin' what I think I should
 And I don't give a damn about a Greenback a-dollar
 Spend it fast as I can
 For a wailing song and a good guitar
 The only things that I understand, poor boy
 The only things that I understand
 When I was a little baby
 My momma said, "Hey son
 Travel where you will and grow to be a man
 And sing what must be sung, poor boy
 Sing what must be sung"
 And I don't give a damn about a Greenback a-dollar
 Spend it fast as I can
 For a wailing song and a good guitar
 The only things that I understand, poor boy
 The only things that I understand
 Now that I'm a grown man
 I've travelled here and there
 I've learned that a bottle of brandy and a song
 The only ones who ever cared, poor boy
 The only ones who ever cared
 And I don't give a damn about a Greenback a-dollar
 Spend it fast as I can
 For a wailing song and a good guitar
 The only things that I understand, poor boy
 The only things that I understand
 Some people say I'm a no-count
 Others say I'm no good
 But I'm just a natural born travellin' man
 Doin' what I think I should, oh yeah
 Doin' what I think I should
 ♪
 And I don't give a damn about a Greenback a-dollar
 Spend it fast as I can
 For a wailing song and a good guitar
 The only things that I understand, poor boy
 The only things that I understand
 The only things that I understand, poor boy
 The only things that I understand
