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 me names
                              
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 thang.

     Well I’m out to find me a wealth 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 thang.
 [bad word] 
                       
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 White Boy lookin’ for a place to do my thang.


           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 White Boy lookin’ for a place to do my thang.
 [bad word] 

                                         I'm White Boy lookin’ for a place to do my thang.
