Verse: 1 
G 
I jumped in the car and I headed for Kansas 

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

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


Verse: 2 
G 
Spent the evenin' in a tavern downtown 

With my new friends that I'd gathered 'round 
      C                                      G 
And 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 
   C 
We all did agree 
              D                          C                              G

  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                             G 
I'd rather have nothin' than a whole lotta somethin' I don't need

Verse: 3 
G 
She was smiling shyly from a barstool in the corner 

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

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

  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                             G
