Old Time Country Blues Lyrics

I don't need no money, I don't need racks of clothes

I don't need those shiny diamonds all a glow

I don't need no guns just for self defence

And I don't need any body to pretend

I said I don't need nothing

but old-time country blues

I said I don't need a lover, cigars on the bench

I don't need a manor with a pretty country fence

I don't need a preacher, a rabbi, or a nun

I don't need big muscles, to prove that I'm the one

I said I don't need nothing

But old-time country blues

I said I don't need power it only leads to shame

I don't need a lender to put out all my flames

I don't need angels to lift me up to God

Cos I'm a talking man, who's made to walk the walk

I said I don't need nothing

But old-time country blues

I said I don't need riches, I don't need bags of gold

I don't need no treasures, hiding in the cold

There's only one thing that keeps me on my feet

And it's the sound that carries the rhythms and the beats

I said I don't need nothing

But old-time country blues
