Lyrics Greenback Dollar

Some people say I'm a no-count
Others say I'm no good
But I'm just a natural born travelin' 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 dollar
Spend it fast as I can
For a wailin' 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 mama 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 dollar
Spend it fast as I can
For a wailin' 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 traveled 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 dollar
Spend it fast as I can
For a wailin' 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 travelin' 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 dollar
Spend it fast as I can
For a wailin' 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
