Listening to good music, and that’s what’s I’m all about

All I wanted was a guitar, the road, and a good drink of liquor

There wasn’t but one thing for me to be, and that’s a renegade picker
[Chorus]

And I’m a renegade picker

Partly hippie and partly kicker

Been around, been around

I may never settle down

And when I was a little boy, they used to make me go to school

They’d say Honey we don’t want, that boy around no more

It saved a renegade picker
