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.
