People say I ain't no good And I'm crazy as a loon 'Cause I get stoned in the morning I get drunk in the afternoon I'm kinda like my old blue tick 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 asking 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've seen a preacher man talking on TV He 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 this is true Well sometimes I think that old preacher man Should like to do a little walking too
'Cause I ain't asking nobody for nothin' Yeah, if I can't get it on my own Yeah, if you don't like the way I'm livin' Just leave this long haired country boy alone Oh, here it 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 But me, I don't want much of nothin' at all But I will take another toke
'Cause I ain't asking nobody for nothin' Yeah, if I can't get it on my own Yeah, 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 how I'm livin' Just leave this long haired country boy alone
