[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
