       People say I'm no good
       I'm crazy as a loon
       Cause I get stoned in the morning
       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
                                            D7
       But I damn sure got it made

                                         G                           add7
                   Cause I ain't askin' nobody for nothin'
                      G7                           D
                   If I can't get it on my own
                                       A
                   If you don't like the way I'm livin'
                                 C              C/B             Am7     G   G/F D
                   You just leave this long haired country boy a - lone
                                                                                             D addB addE+ C5 D

       Preacher man talking 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 walking, too

                   But I ain't asking 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
                               *Solo*   (verse & chorus)

       A poor girl wants to marry
       A rich girl wants to flirt
       A rich man goes to college
       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 nothing at all
       But I will take another toke

                   Cause I ain't asking 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...
