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
