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?br />？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?br />？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?br />？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.
