Lyrics

People say I'm no good and crazy as a loon 'cause I get up in the morning,
I get down in the afternoon. Kind of 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 aking nobody for nothing if I can't get it on my own. If you
don't like the way I'm living you just leave this long haired country boy alone.

Preacher man talking on TV, and puttin' down the rock and roll. Wants me
to send a donation 'cause he's worried about my sould. 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 walking too. But I ain't asking nobody
for nothing if I can't get it on my own. If you don't like the way I'm living
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 tell another joke. 'Cause I ain't aking nobody for nothing if
I can't get it on my own. If you don't like the way I'm living you just
leave this long haired country boy alone.
