People say I'm no good
And crazy as a loon
'Cause I get stoned
in the mornin'
I get drunk in the afternoon
Kinda like my old
blue tick hound
I like to lay around in the shade
And I ain't got no money
But I **** sure got it made
'Cause I ain't askin' nobody
for nothin'
If I can't get it on my own
If you don't like
the way I'm livin'
You just leave this long-haired
country boy alone
Preacher man taIkin' on TV
Puttin' down the rock and roll
Wants me to send a donation
'Cause he's worried
about my soul
He said Jesus walked on
the water
And I know that it's true
But sometimes
I think that preacher man
Would like to do
a little walkin' too
But I ain't askin' nobody
for nothin'
If I can't get it on my own
If you don't like
the way I'm livin'
You just leave this long-haired
country boy alone
A poor girl wants to marry
A rich girl wants to flirt
A rich man goes to college
And a poor man goes to work
A drunkard wants
another drink of wine
And a politician wants to vote
I don't want much
of nothin' at all
But I will take another toke
And I ain't askin' nobody
for nothin'
If I can't get it on my own
If you don't like
the way I'm livin'
You just leave this long-haired
country boy alone
