Hoyt Axton/Ken Ramsey

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, O, yeah Doin' what I think I should

Chorus:
And I don't give a damn 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, poor boy, 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, poor boy Sing what must be sung"

(Chorus)

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 care, poor boy, the only ones who ever care

(Chorus, repeat first verse and repeat chorus)
