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.
