Verse 1
No Chord
Jumped in the truck and headed for Kansas
G
Morning found me in Port Aransas
C
Sipping on rum
G
In that warm Texas sun
G
I've never been good at keeping direction
G
And I believe schedules are one of life's worst infections
C
And I gotta be free
D
'Cause I'd rather have nothing
C G
Than a whole lot of something I don't need
Chorus 1:
D
I'd rather have nothing
C
Than a whole lot of something
G D
That don't fit the life that I lead
D C
Material things and all that wealth brings
G D
Just must be for some other breed
G
'Cause life ain't about the worries and doubts
C
That comes with the lust and the greed
G
And I'd rather have nothing
D C G
Than a whole lot of something I don't need
Solo:
C,G D,C,G
Verse 2:
G
I spent that evening in a tavern in town
G
With a bunch of my new friends my money brought 'round
C
And I told them 'bout you
G
And all the hell we'd been through
G
Everyone there had a similar story
G
Years full of tears from all the heartache and worry
C
And we all agreed
D
That we'd rather have nothing
C G
Than a whole lot of something we don't need
Chorus 2:
D
I'd rather have nothing
C
Than a whole lot of something
G D
That don't fit the life that I lead
D C
Commitments and strings and all that love brings
G D
Just must be for some other breed
G
'Cause life ain't about the worries and doubts
C
That comes with the lust and the greed
G
And I'd rather have nothing
D Em
Than a whole lot of something I don't need
C
Yeah Yeah
G
Oh, I'd rather have nothing
D C G(ring out)
Than a whole lot of something I don't need
