Lyric I d Rather Have Nothing

(Mike McClure)

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
