Others say Im no good
But I'm just a poor travelin man
Doin what I think I should, oh lord
Doin what I think I should
And I don't give a damn about a greenback dollar
I spend it fast as I can
For a wailin song and a good guitar
That's the only thing I understand, oh lord
The only thing I understand
When I was a child
My mama said hey son
Do what you will, you'll grow to be a man
And sing what must be sung, oh lord
Well I sing what must be sung
But I don't give a damn about a greenback dollar
I spend it fast as I can
For a wailin song and a good guitar
That's the only thing I understand, oh lord
The only thing I understand
Now that I've grown to be a man
I've traveled here and there
There's one thing I love, a drink and a song
They're the only ones who ever cared, oh lord
The only ones who ever cared
Well I don't give a damn about a greenback dollar
I spend it fast as I can
For a wailin song and a good guitar
That's the only thing I understand, oh lord
The only thing I understand
I dont give a damn about a greenback dollar
I spend it fast as I can
For a wailin song and a good guitar
That's the only thing I understand, oh lord
The only thing I understand
That's all I really understand yeah
That's all I understand yeah
That's all I understand yeah
Thought I'd talk about it yeah
All I understand yeah
Some may call me no account Others say Im no good But I'm just a poor travelin man Doin what I think I should, oh lord Doin what I think I should And I don't give a damn about a greenback dollar I spend it fast as I can For a wailin song and a good guitar That's the only thing I understand, oh lord The only thing I understand When I was a child My mama said hey son Do what you will, you'll grow to be a man And sing what must be sung, oh lord Well I sing what must be sung But I don't give a damn about a greenback dollar I spend it fast as I can For a wailin song and a good guitar That's the only thing I understand, oh lord The only thing I understand Now that I've grown to be a man I've traveled here and there There's one thing I love, a drink and a song They're the only ones who ever cared, oh lord The only ones who ever cared Well I don't give a damn about a greenback dollar I spend it fast as I can For a wailin song and a good guitar That's the only thing I understand, oh lord The only thing I understand I dont give a damn about a greenback dollar I spend it fast as I can For a wailin song and a good guitar That's the only thing I understand, oh lord The only thing I understand That's all I really understand yeah That's all I understand yeah That's all I understand yeah Thought I'd talk about it yeah All I understand yeah Explain Request ×
