"Just Bummin' Around" was a song performed by American singer Dean Martin, in the 1967 television special, Movin' With Nancy, starring Nancy Sinatra. It was released to home video in 2000.[1]
The single reached number five on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and topped the Easy Listening chart during the winter of 1966–1967.
The song was written by Pete Graves. Graves, who also recorded the tune, is quoted as saying that he took lyrics from a rodeo song he had written when he was a rodeo rider, including the lines free as a breeze, I do as I please, nothing to lose and not even the blues, and added them into "Just Bummin' Around." Graves also said he pulled the line "I got an old slouch hat" from an Ernest Tubb song, "Blue Eyed Jane." He said he waited on Tubbs to sue him but he didn’t.[2]
