| People say I’m no good and 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 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, 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 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 your vote
|
| I don’t want much of nothin' at all
|
| But I will take another toke
|
| 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 |
