Merle Haggard I'm a White Boy Lyrics

Some folks call me a ramblin' man
I do a lot of thumbin' and kickin' cans
And it wouldn't do an ounce of good to call my name
Cause daddy's name wasn't Wille Woodrow
And I wasn't born and raised in no ghetto
Just a white boy lookin' for a place to do my thing.

Well I'm out to find me a wealthy woman
And a line of work that don't take no diploma
I ain't got much to lose but a lot to gain
Yeah some might call me a good time fella
I ain't black and, I ain't yella
Just a white boy lookin' for a place to do my thing.

Chorus:
Yeah I don't want no handout livin'
And don't want a part of anything they're givin'
I'm proud and white and I got a song to sing
Well I've said a few things and I'll admit it
If you want to get ahead you got to hump and get it
I'm A White Boy lookin' for a place to do my thing.

Yeah I'm a small town boy been around a little
I like guitars and I like a fiddle
And that's the kind of soul it take to fan my flame
Well I'm a blue eyed Billy kind of feared and ready
So I'll have to work to be somebody
I'm A White Boy lookin' for a place to do my thing.

Chorus

I'm A White Boy lookin' for a place to do my thing.
