People say I'm no good, crazy as a loon
Cause I get stoned in the mornin'
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 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,
Wants me to send a donation cause hes worried about my soul
He said Jesus walked on the water, and I know that its true
But sometimes I think that preacher man would like to do a little
walkin' to
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 your vote
I don't want much of nothing at all but I will take another toke
Cause 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
