I believe the song is played with a capo on the 5th fret, but I've posted it in open chords.
Intro: G C G D G
G
Jumped in the car and I headed for Kansas
Mornin' found me in Port Aransas
C G
Sippin' on rum, in the light and the sun
I've never been good at keepin' directions
C
Schedules are one of life's infections and I strongly believe
D C G
I'd rather have nothing than a whole lot of something I don't need
G
Spent the evening in a tavern downtown
With my new friends that I gathered around
C G
And I told them bout you and all we've been through
Bout how you tried to keep me tied down
C
And the lights went out on our final round and we all did agree
D C G
That we would rather have nothing than a whole lot of something we don't need
Chorus:
C D G
You can go ahead and keep your money in the bank
C D G D
You can lead a horse to water but you damn sure can't make it drink
C D G G/F# Em
And I'm doin' fine down here and maybe you'll start to see
D C G
I'd rather have nothing than a whole lot of something I don't need
She was smiling shyly from a barstool in the corner
Thanking me for those drinks that I ordered
By the look in her eye she was feeling her wine
I asked her what she was doing here alone
And if she'd mind if I took her home
Hell she just laughed at me
She said I'd rather have nothing than a whole lot of something I don't need
Repeat Chorus
