I'd Rather Have Nothing

[Verse 1]

I jumped in the truck and headed for Kansas

Morning found me in Port Aranas

Sipping on rum in that warm Texas sun

I've never been good at keeping directions

And I believe schedules are one of life's worst infections

And I got to be free 'cause I'd rather nothing

Than a whole lot of something I don't need

[Chorus]

Yeah I'd rather have nothing

Than a whole lot of something

That don't fit the life that I lead

Material things and all that wealth brings

Just must be for some other breed

Because life ain't about the worries and doubts

That comes with the lust and the greed

Yeah and I'd rather have nothing

That a whole lot of something we don't need

[Verse 2]

I spent that evening in a tavern in town

With a bunch of my new friends my money brought around

And I told them about you

And all the hell we'd been through

Everyone there had a similar story

Years for the tears with all the heartache and worry

And we all agreed that we'd rather have nothing

Than a whole lot of something we don't need

[Chorus]

Yeah I'd rather have nothing

Than a whole lot of something

That don't fit the life that I lead

Commintments and strings and all that love brings

Just must be for some other breed

Because life ain't about the worries and doubts

That comes with the lust and the greed

Yeah and I'd rather have nothing

Than a whole lot of something I don't need

[Outro]

Oh, I'd rather have nothing

Than a whole lot of something I don't need
