[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] '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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] 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
