Jumped in the tuck and headed for Kansas
|
Mornin' found me in Port Arasas
|
Sippin' on rum in the warm Texas sun
|
I've never been good at keeping direction
|
And I believe schedules
|
Are one of life's worst infections
|
I've gotta be free cause I'd rather have nothing
|
Than a whole lot of somethin' I don't need
|
|
Yeah I'd rather have nothing
|
Then a whole lot of somethin'
|
That I don't suit the life that I lead
|
Commitments and strings and all that wealth brings
|
Just must be for some other breed
|
'Cause life ain't about the worries and doubts
|
That comes with the heartaches and greed
|
And I'd rather have nothing
|
Than a whole lot of something I don't need
|
|
I spent that evening in a tavern in town
|
With a bunch of my new friends my money brought 'round
|
And I told'em 'bout you
|
And all the hell we'd been through
|
Everyone there had a similar story
|
Years full of tears from all the heartaches and worry
|
And we all agreed
|
That we rather have nothin'
|
Then a whole lot of something we don't need
|
|
Yeah I'd rather have nothing
|
Then a whole lot of somethin'
|
That I don't suit the life that I lead
|
Commitments and strings and all that wealth brings
|
Just must be for some other breed
|
'Cause life ain't about the worries and doubts
|
That comes with the heartaches and greed
|
And I'd rather have nothing
|
Than a whole lot of something I don't need
|
|
They smiled and waved from the booth in the corner
|
As if to thank me for the drinks that I'd ordered
|
By the look in their eyes
|
They were feelin' their wine
|
So I eased on over and asked if they were alone
|
And what are the chances of us three headin' home
|
They just laughed at me
|
They said we'd rather have nothin'
|
Then a whole lot of something we don't need
|
