People say I ain't no good
And I'm crazy as a loon
'Cause I get stoned in the mornin'
And I get drunk in the afternoon
I'm kinda like my old bluetick hound
I like to lay around in the shade
I ain't got no money
But I damn sure got it made
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'
Just leave this long haired country boy alone
Well I say the preacher man talkin' on TV
Was puttin' down rock 'n' roll
He wants me to send a donation
'Cause he's worried about my soul
He said Jesus walked on the water
And y'all know that this is true
Well sometimes I think that ol' preacher man
Sure'd like to do a little walkin' too
'Cause I ain't askin' nobody for nothin'
Yeah, if I can't get it on my own
If you don't like the way I'm livin'
Just leave this long haired country boy alone
(Oh, here goes)
Well I said the poor girl wants to marry
And the rich girl wants to flirt
The rich boys went off to college
And all of us poor boys came to work
The drunkard wants another drink of wine
And the politician wants your vote
And me I don't want much of nothin' at all
But I will take another toke
But I ain't askin' nobody for nothin'
Yeah, if I can't get it on my own
If you don't like the way I'm livin'
Just leave this long haired country boy alone
Well I said, I said
If you don't like it how I'm livin'
Just leave this long haired country boy alone
