Some people say I'm a no 'count Others say I'm no good

But I'm just a nat'ral-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

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

I want you do what has be done

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

The only things that I understand

Now that I'm a grown man I've traveled here and there

I've learned that a bottle of brandy and a good guitar

Only thing that i care Only thing that i care

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

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

The only things that I understand

The only things that I understand

The only things that I understand
