(Cold Start) 
 
Verse 1 
No Chord 
Jumped in the truck and headed for Kansas  
G 
Morning found me in Port Aransas  
C 
Sipping on rum  
        G 
In that warm Texas sun  
     G  
I've never been good at keeping direction  
      G 
And I believe schedules are one of life's worst infections  
      C 
And I gotta be free  
           D 
'Cause I'd rather have nothing  
       C                              G 
Than a whole lot of something I don't need  
 
Chorus 1: 
    D 
I'd rather have nothing  
       C 
Than a whole lot of something  
     G                         D 
That don't fit the life that I lead  
  D                 C   
Material things and all that wealth brings  
     G                      D 
Just must be for some other breed  
       G                        
'Cause life ain't about the worries and doubts  
                                 C 
That comes with the lust and the greed  
        G 
And I'd rather have nothing  
       D            C                 G 
Than a whole lot of something I don't need

Verse 2: 
  G  
I spent that evening in a tavern in town  
       G 
With a bunch of my new friends my money brought 'round  
      C 
And I told them 'bout you  
            G 
And all the hell we'd been through  
G 
Everyone there had a similar story  
G 
Years full of tears from all the heartache and worry  
    C 
And we all agreed  
          D 
That we'd rather have nothing  
       C                               G 
Than a whole lot of something we don't need  
 
Chorus 2: 
    D 
I'd rather have nothing  
       C 
Than a whole lot of something  
     G                         D 
That don't fit the life that I lead  
  D                 C   
Commitments and strings and all that love brings  
     G                      D 
Just must be for some other breed  
       G                        
'Cause life ain't about the worries and doubts  
                                 C 
That comes with the lust and the greed  
        G 
And I'd rather have nothing  
       D                              Em 
Than a whole lot of something I don't need  
     C 
Yeah Yeah 
        G 
Oh, I'd rather have nothing  
       D            C                 G (ring out) 
Than a whole lot of something I don't need
