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
