[Am] [E]
[Em] Some people say [G] I'm a no-cam
[C] Others say [G] I'm a nerd
[C] But I'm just a natural [G] born [Em] traveling [D] man
Doing what I think [Em] I should, oh yeah
[D] Doing what I think [Em] I should
[G] And I don't [C] give a damn [G] about a green [C] bag of [G] dollar
I [C] spend it fast [G] as I can
[C] [Em] For a winning [G] song and a good [C] guitar
[D]
The only thing that I [Em] understand, oh boy
[G]
The only thing that I [Em] understand
When I was [G] a little baby
[C] My mama said, [G] hey son
[C] Travel where you [G] will and grow to be a man
[D] And sing what must [E] be sung, oh boy
[D] Sing what must [E] be sung
[Em] [G] And I don't [C] give a damn [G] about a green [C] bag of [G] dollar
I [C] spend it fast [G] as I [C] can
[G] For a winning [C] [Em] song and a good guitar
[D]
The only thing that I [Em] understand, oh boy
[D] The only thing that I [Em] understand
Now that [Bm] I am [G] a grown man
I've traveled here and there
[C] I've learned that a bottle [G] of [D] candy [Em] and a song
[D] The only ones who ever [Em]
care, oh boy
[D] The only ones who ever [Em]
care
[G] And I don't [C] give a damn [G] about a green [C] bag of [G] dollar
I [C] spend it fast [G] as I [C] can
[Em] For a winning song and a good guitar
[D] The only thing that I [Em] understand, oh boy
[D] The only thing that I [Em] understand
Some [Bm] people say I'm [G] a no cap
[C] Others [G] say I'm no good
[C] But I'm just a [G] natural born traveling man
[Dm] Doing what I think I [B] should, oh yeah
[D] Doing what I think I [B] should
And [Em]
[G] I [C] don't give a damn [G] about a green bag of dollar
I [C] spend it fast [G] as I [C] can
For a winning [G] song and a good [C] guitar
[D] The only thing that [Em] I understand, oh boy
[D] The only thing [Em] that I understand
[D] The only thing [Em] that I understand, oh boy
The [D] only thing that I [Em] understand

[G]
[A] the early [G] part of the 19th century, as most of you know,
there was a tremendous westward movement in this country.
A
[Cm] [F#]
[F#m] young man would go out on the east coast
and [A] round up some cattle, get some oxen together, head west.
On his [Fm] way out to the west coast, he'd stop [E] along the way
to the different farms and [D#] ranches,
working his way across the country,
[F#m] doing odd jobs for the farmer.
[N]
Let me tell you, now wait a minute.
I'll show you how a bit progresses with this group, see?
Six months ago, we started this announcement,
and Bobby used to give a little cough,
sort of a half belch.
Now he's throwing up on himself, see?
Same spot, that's where it goes.
[D] [G#]
[A]
[D]
I just like people.
[C]
This song was written by Eric Anderson.
[F#m]
Sometimes.
It's called Thirsty Boots. It's awesome.
