Some people say [G] I'm a no-count, others say I'm no good
But I'm just a natural born traveling man, [A] doing what I think I should, oh yeah, doing what I think [E] I should
[G] And I don't give a damn about a green [C] bike or [G] dollar, [C] spend it fast [G] as I can
[C] [G] For a way-little song and a good [C] guitar, [A] the only things that I [Em] understand, oh boy, [A] the only things that I [Em] understand
When I was a [G] little baby, [C] my mama said, hey [G] son, [C] travel where you will [G] and grow to be a man
[D] And sing what must be [Em] sung, oh boy, [A] sing what must [Em] be sung
And [G] I don't [C] give a damn [G] about a green [C] bike or dollar, [G] spend it [C] fast as I can
[C] For a way-little song [G] and a good [C] guitar, [A] the only things that I [Em] understand, oh boy, [A] the only things that I [Em] understand
[E] Now that [G] I'm a grown man, I've traveled here and there
[C] I've learned that a bottle [G] of brandy and a song, [D] the only ones who [E] ever care, oh boy, [D] the only ones who [E] ever care
[G] And I don't give a damn about a green [C] bike or [G] dollar, [C] spend it fast [G] as I can
[C] [G] For a way-little [C] song and a good guitar, [A] the only things that I [Em] understand, oh boy, [A] the only things that I [Em] understand
Some people say [G] I'm a no-count, others say I'm no good
But I'm just a natural-born traveling man, [A] doing what I think [E] I should, oh yeah, [Dm] doing what I think [E] I should
[G] And I don't give [C] a damn [G] about a green bike or dollar, spend it fast as I can
[C] For a way-little song [G] and a good [C] guitar, [A] the only things that I [Em] understand, oh boy, [A] the only things that I [Em] understand
The [A] only things that I [Em] understand, oh boy, [D] the only things that I [Em] understand
