I've been trying so hard for so long now

To separate what I need from what I want

I've got a few friendly faces in so many towns

I've got a million reasons to smile and so few to frown



I don't need a thing but you and a six-string



It's been kind of hard going town to town

ever since my bicycle broke down

but tonight your smiling faces make it all worth while

because I don't need grace I don't need style



I don't need a thing but you and a six-string



When we are older

We'll lay down our lives for the forest

When we are older

We'll lay down our bodies for the mountains



I won't need a thing but you and a six-string



So put a quarter in my jukebox and I'll play you a country tune
