A 
Some folks call me a ramblin? man 
  D 
I do a lot of thumbin? and kickin? cans 
       A                                       E 
And it wouldn?t do an ounce of good to call me names 
      A                          
Cause daddy?s name wasn?t Wille Woodrow 
    D                               
And I wasn?t born and raised in no ghetto  
       A                       E              A 
Just a white boy lookin? for a place to do my thang. 
 
     A 
Well I?m out to find me a wealth woman 
      D 
And a line of work that don?t take no diploma 
  A                                   E 
I ain?t got much to lose but a lot to gain 
     A 
Yeah some might call me a good time fella 
D    
I ain?t black and, I ain?t yella  
       A                       E              A 
Just a white boy lookin? for a place to do my thang. 
 
Chorus: 
     D               Eb      
Yeah I don?t want no handout livin?  
    A 
And don?t want a part of anything they?re givin? 
    B                                   E 
I?m proud and white and I got a song to sing 
     A 
Well I?ve said a few things and I?ll admit it 
       D 
If you want to get ahead you got to hump and get it 
      A                       E              A 
I'm A White Boy lookin? for a place to do my thang. 
 
A Ab G B A 
 
           A 
Yeah I?m a small town boy been around a little 
  D 
I like guitars and I like a fiddle 
    A                                         E 
And that?s the kind of soul it take to fan my flame 
     A 
Well I?m a blue eyed Billy kind of feared and ready 
   D 
So I?ll have to work to be somebody 
      A                       E              A 
I'm A White Boy lookin? for a place to do my thang. 
 
Chorus: 
 
A                             E              A 
I'm A White Boy lookin? for a place to do my thang.
