johnny rivers - green back dollar lyrics
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,
doin’ what i think i should.
and i don’t give a d-mn about a greenback dollar,
i spend it as fast as i can, all right
for a wailin’ song and a good guitar,
the only things that i understand, poor boy,
only things that i understand
when i was a little baby,
my momma told, “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.”
you know, i don’t give a d-mn about a greenback dollar,
i spend it as fast as i can, all right
for a wailin’ song and a good guitar,
the only things that i understand,
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 care,
only ones who ever care
you know, i don’t give a d-mn about a greenback dollar,
i spend it as fast as i can, all right
for a wailin’ song and a good guitar,
the only things that i understand, poor boy,
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,
doin’ what i think i should.
i don’t give a d-mn about a greenback dollar,
i spend it as fast as i can, all right
for a wailin’ song and a good guitar,
the only things that i understand, poor boy,
only things that i understand
only things that i understand,
only things that i understand.
