Rather Have Nothin

Intro: Verse: 1 I jumped in the car and I headed for Kansas The mornin' found me in Port Aransas Sippin' on rum, lyin' in the sun I've never been good at keepin' direction Schedules are one of life's infections I strongly believe That I would rather have nothin' than a whole lotta somethin' I don't need Verse: 2 Spent the evenin' in a tavern downtown With my new friends that I'd gathered 'round And I told them 'bout you and all we've been through 'Bout how you tried to keep me tied down And the lights went out on our final round We all did agree That we would rather have nothin' than a whole lotta somethin' we don't need You can go ahead and keep the money in the bank You can lead a horse to water but you damn sure can't make it drink And I'm doin' fine down here and maybe this time you'll see I'd rather have nothin' than a whole lotta somethin' I don't need Interlude: Verse: 3 She was smiling shyly from a barstool in the corner Thanking me for those drinks that I ordered By the look in her eye she was feeling her wine I asked her what she was doin' here alone And if she'd mind if I took her home Hell, she just laughed at me She said, "I'd rather have nothin' than a whole lotta somethin' I don't need" You can go ahead and keep the money in the bank And you can lead a horse to water but you damn sure can't make it drink And I'm doin' fine down here and maybe this time you'll see I'd rather have nothin' than a whole lotta somethin' I don't need Yes, I'd rather have nothin' than a whole lotta somethin' I don't need
