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....
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."
