Don McLean — Greenback Dollar

[Verse 1] Some people say I'm a no account Others say I'm no good But I'm just a natural born travelin' man Doin' what I think I should Doin' what I think I should [Chorus] And I don't give a damn about a greenback dollar I'll spend it fast as I can For a whalin' song and a good guitar The only things that I understand The only things that I understand And I don't give a damn about a greenback dollar I'll spend it fast as I can For a whalin' song and a good guitar The only things that I understand The only things that I understand [Verse 2] When I was a little baby My mama told me, "Son Travel where you will and grow to be a man And sing what must be sung Sing what must be sung" [Chorus] And I don't give a damn about a greenback dollar I'll spend it fast as I can For a whalin' song and a good guitar The only things that I understand The only things that I understand [Verse 3] Now, that I'm a grown man I've travelled here and there I've learned that a bottlе of brandy and a song Are the only ones who еver care The only ones who ever care [Chorus] And I don't give a damn about a greenback dollar I'll spend it fast as I can For a whalin' song and a good guitar The only things that I understand The only things that I understand [Verse 4] Well some people say I'm a no account And others say I'm no good But I'm just a natural born travelin' man Doin' what I think I should A-doin' what I think I should [Chorus] And I don't give a damn about a greenback dollar I'll spend it fast as I can For a whalin' song and a good guitar The only things that I understand The only things that I understand [Outro] The only things that I understand, that's right The only things that I understand
