Lyrics

[00:07.030] Some people say I'm a no count
[00:10.640] Others say I'm no good
[00:14.260] But I'm just a natural born travelin' man
[00:17.560] Doin' what I think I should, oh yeah
[00:21.090] Doin' what I think I should
[00:26.210] And I don't give a damn about a greenback a dollar
[00:29.980] Spend it fast as I can
[00:32.940] For a wailin' song and a good guitar
[00:36.720] The only things that I understand, poor boy
[00:40.300] The only things that I understand
[00:49.540] When I was a little baby
[00:52.580] My mama said "Hey son"
[00:56.200] "Travel where you will and grow to be a man
[00:59.780] and sing what must be sung, poor boy"
[01:03.460] Sing what must be sung
[01:08.680] And I don't give a damn about a greenback a dollar
[01:12.450] Spend it fast as I can
[01:15.370] For a wailin' song and a good guitar
[01:19.160] The only things that I understand, poor boy
[01:22.800] The only things that I understand
[01:32.060] Now that I'm a grown man
[01:35.260] I've traveled here and there
[01:38.760] I've learned that a bottle of brandy and a song
[01:42.370] The only ones who ever care, poor boy
[01:45.940] The only ones who ever care
[01:50.930] And I don't give a damn about a greenback a dollar
[01:55.000] Spend it fast as I can
[01:57.900] For a wailin' song and a good guitar
[02:01.390] The only things that I understand, poor boy
[02:05.210] The only things that I understand
[02:17.880] Some people say I'm a no count
[02:21.410] Others say I'm no good
[02:25.010] But I'm just a natural born travelin' man
[02:28.570] Doin' what I think I should, oh yeah
[02:32.220] Doin' what I think I should
[02:37.320] And I don't give a damn about a greenback a dollar
[02:41.300] Spend it fast as I can
[02:44.520] For a wailin' song and a good guitar
[02:48.470] The only things that I understand, poor boy
[02:51.910] The only things that I understand
[02:55.560] The only things that I understand, poor boy
[02:59.160] The only things that I understand
