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 TV
A 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 is 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 a vote
I don't want much
of nothin' at all
But I will take another toke
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
