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
Than a whole lot of something I don't need
