People say I ain't no good, and I'm crazy as a loon
'Cause I get stoned in the mornin' and I get drunk in the afternoon
I'm kinda like my old blue tick hound, I like to lay around in the shade
I ain't got no money, but I damn sure got it made

And 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'
Just leave this long haired country boy alone

Well, I've seen a preacher man talkin' on TV, was puttin' down rock 'n' roll
He wants me to send a donation 'cause he's worried about my soul
He said, Jesus walked on water and y'all know this is true
Well, sometimes I think that old preacher man should like do a little walkin' too

'Cause I ain't askin' nobody for nothin'
Yeah, if I can't get it on my own
Yeah, if you don't like the way I'm livin'
Just leave this long haired country boy alone

Oh, here it goes

Well, I said the poor girl wants to marry, and the rich girl wants to flirt
The rich boys ran off to college and all of us poor boys came to work
The drunker wants another drink of wine and the politician wants your vote
And me, I don't want much of nothin' at all but I will take another toke

'Cause I ain't askin' nobody for nothin'
Yeah, if I can't get it on my own
Yeah, if you don't like the way I'm livin'
Just leave this long haired country boy alone

Well, I said, I said
If you don't like how I'm livin'
Just leave this long haired country boy alone

Get 'em boys
