Lyrics

some folks call me a ramblin' man, i do a lotta thumbin' and a kickin' cans, and it wouldn't do an ounce of good to call my name, 'cause daddy's name wasn't willy 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, well, some might call me a goodtime fella, i ain't black and i ain't yella, just a white boy lookin' for a place to do my thing, yeah, i don't want no handout livin', don't want any part of anything they're givin', i'm proud and white and i've got a song to sing, well, i've said a few things and i'll admit it, if you wanna get ahead you gotta hump and get it, i'm a white boy lookin' for a place to do my thing, hump and get it now, yeah, i'm a small town boy been around a little, i like guitars and i like a fiddle, and that's the kinda soul it takes to fan my flame, well, i'm a blue eyed billy kinda frail and ruddy, so i'll have to work to be somebody, i'm a white boy lookin' for a place to do my thing, i don't want no handout livin', and don't want any part of anything they're givin', i'm proud and white and i've got a song to sing, well, i've said a few things and i'll admit it, if you wanna get ahead you gotta hump and get it, i'm a white boy lookin' for a place to do my thing, i'm a white boy lookin' for a place to do my thing
