Lyrics:

People say I?'m no good
And crazy as a loon
?Cause I get stoned in the morning -
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?'
?f 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 T.V.
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
?d like to do a little walkin?' too.
But I ain?'t askin?' nobody for nothin?'
?f I can?'t get it on my own.
?f 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 the vote.
I don?'t want much of nothing at all,
But I will take another toke.
But I ain?'t askin?' nobody for nothin?'
?f I can?'t get it on my own.
?f you don?'t like the way I?'m livin?',
You just leave this long-haired country boy alone.
