[Intro]
G C G D G


[Verse 1]
GI jumped in the car and I headed for Kansas

The mornin' found me in Port Aransas
C                          GSippin' on rum, lyin' in the sun
     GI've never been good at keepin' direction

Schedules are one of life's infections
  CI strongly believe
             D                          C                             GThat I would rather have nothin' than a whole lotta somethin' I don't need


[Verse 2]
GSpent the evenin' in a tavern downtown

With my new friends that I'd gathered 'round
      C                                      GAnd I told them 'bout you and all we've been through
              G'Bout how you tried to keep me tied down

And the lights went out on our final round
   CWe all did agree
              D                          C                              GThat we would rather have nothin' than a whole lotta somethin' we don't need


[Chorus]
C                      G                     D  You can go ahead and keep the money in the bank
C                                       G                       D  You can lead a horse to water but you damn sure can't make it drink
C                                  G          G/F#        Em  And I'm doin' fine down here and maybe this time you'll see
    G                          D                             GI'd rather have nothin' than a whole lotta somethin' I don't need

[Verse 3]
GShe was smiling shyly from a barstool in the corner

Thanking me for those drinks that I ordered
       C                                   GBy the look in her eye she was feeling her wine
            GI asked her what she was doin' here alone

And if she'd mind if I took her home
          CHell, she just laughed at me
               D                          C                             GShe said, "I'd rather have nothin' than a whole lotta somethin' I don't need"


[Chorus]
C                      G                     D  You can go ahead and keep the money in the bank
C                                           G                       D  And you can lead a horse to water but you damn sure can't make it drink
C                                  G          G/F#        Em  And I'm doin' fine down here and maybe this time you'll see
    G                          D                             GI'd rather have nothin' than a whole lotta somethin' I don't need
         G                          D                             GYes, I'd rather have nothin' than a whole lotta somethin' I don't need
