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 damn 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 talkin' 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 And 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 your vote I don't want much of nothin' at all But I will take another toke 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
