[Intro]
Yeah

[Verse 1]
Well people say I ain't no good
And I'm crazy as a loon
'Cause I get stoned in the morning
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

[Chorus]
And I ain't asking nobody for nothin'
If I can't get it on my own (That's the way it's been, it's the way it's gon' stay, ol' son)
If you don't like the way I'm livin'
Just leave this long haired country boy alone (Yeah)

[Verse 2]
Well I've seen a preacher man talking on TV
He 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 the water"
"And y'all know that this is true"
Well sometimes I think that old preacher man
Should like to do a little walking too
[Chorus]
'Cause I ain't asking nobody for nothin'
Yeah, if I can't get it on my own (Hey)
If you don't like the way I'm livin'
Just leave this long haired country boy alone
(Where's all my American patriots at tonight?)

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Well I said, "The poor girl wants to marry"
"And the rich girl wants to flirt"
"The rich boys went off to college"
"While all of us poor boys came to work"
"The drunkard wants another drink of wine"
"And the politician wants your vote" (Nope)
"But me, I don't want much of nothin' at all"
"But I will take another toke"

[Chorus]
'Cause I ain't asking 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"
(Make some noise for the boys in the rocking CJB from Texas)
