Verse 1:
No Chord
Jumped in the truck and headed for Kansas
G+G
Morning found me in Port Aransas
C majorC
Sipping on rum

In that warm Texas sun

I've never been good at keeping direction
G+G

C majorC
And I gotta be free

'Cause I'd rather have nothing
C majorC G+G
Than a whole lot of something I don't need
Chorus 1:
D MajorD
I'd rather have nothing
C majorC
Than a whole lot of something
G+G D MajorD
That don't fit the life that I lead
D MajorD C majorC
Material things and all that wealth brings
G+G D MajorD
Just must be for some other breed
G+G

That comes with the lust and the greed

And I'd rather have nothing
D MajorD C majorC G+G
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 them 'bout you

And all the hell we'd been through
G+G
Everyone there had a similar story

Years full of tears from all the heartache and worry

And we all agreed

That we'd rather have nothing
C majorC G+G
Than a whole lot of something we don't need

Commitments and strings and all that love brings

Just must be for some other breed
