i'm a white boy

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
