[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
