Jerry Jeff Walker - Green Back Dollar Lyrics

Artist: Jerry Jeff Walker

Album: Miscellaneous

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 thing that I understand, poor boy
The only thing that I understand

When I was a little babe, 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 thing that I understand, poor boy
The only thing 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 thing that I understand, poor boy
The only thing that I understand
