"Greenback Dollar" 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
Doin' what I think I should
And I don't give a damn 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 damn 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 damn 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 damn 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
