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.
