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' 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 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 I'd 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 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' 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.
