Some people say I'm a no count
Others say I'm no good
But I'm just a natural
born traveling man
Doing what I think I should, oh yeah
Doing what I think I should
And I don't give about a greenback dollar
I spend it fast as I can
for a wailing song and a good guitar
the only thing that I understand
yes the only thing that I understand
now when I was a little baby
my mama said hey son
you've got to travel where you will
and grow up to be a man
and sing what the gotta be sung,
oh yeah, sing what's gotta be sung.
And I don't care about a
greenback dollar,
I'll spend it fast as I can
for a wailing song and a good guitar,
the only thing that I understand.
Yes, the only thing that I understand.
Hey, now that I'm a grown man,
I will travel here and there.
But I will learn that a bottle
of a brandy in a song
are the only ones who ever care,
oh yeah, the only ones
who really care.
And I don't give a,
about a greenback dollar,
spend it fast as I can,
for a wailing song and a good guitar,
the only thing that I understand,
oh yes, the only thing that I understand.
Some people say I'm a no count,
yeah,
others say I'm no good, hallelujah,
But I'm just a natural
born traveling man
I'm doing what I think I should
Oh yeah
I'm doing what I think I should
And I don't give a
About a greenback dollar
I spend it fast as I can
For a wailing song and a good guitar
The only thing that I understand
Oh boy
Yes, the only thing that I understand
I say the only thing that I understand
Oh boy
Yes the only thing that I understand
I said the only thing that I understand
Oh boy, the only thing that I understand
