People say I'm no good

And crazy as a loon

Cause I get stoned in the mornin

Get drunk in the afternoon

Kinda like my ole blue tick hound

I like to lay around in the shade

And I ain't got no money

But I've damn sure got it made

And I ain't askin' nobody for nothing

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 the TV

Puttin' down the rock and roll

He 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 might do a little walkin' too

And I ain't askin' nobody for nothing

If I can't get it on my own

If you don't like to way I'm livin'

You just leave this long

Haired country boy alone

Poor girl wants to marry

And the rich girl wants to flirt

Rich man goes to college

And the poor man goes to work

A drunkard wants another drink

Of wine and the politician wants a vote

I don't want much of nothing at all

But I will take another toke

But I ain't asking nobody for nothin'

If I can't get it on my own

You don't like the way I'm livin'

You just leave this long

Haired country boy alone
