lyrics

People say I'm not good
Crazy as a loon
Cause I get stoned in the morning
Hell I get drunk every afternoon.
Kinda like my old blue tick hound, I like to lay around in the shade
I ain't got me no money, but I damn sure got it made

I ain't asking nobody for nothing, if I can't get it on my own
If you don't like the way that I'm living
Go on and leave this long-haired country boy alone

I heard the preacher man talking on the TV, putting down on the rock n roll
He says he wants me to send a donation, cause he's worried about my soul
He told me Jesus walked on the waterwell yes sir I know that's true
Sometimes I think that Ol' preacher man might like to do a little walking too

And I ain't asking nobody for nothing, if I can't get it on my own
If you don't like the way that I'm living
Go on and leave this long-haired country boy alone

Now I heard a poor girl wants to marry, a rich girl likes to flirt
And Rich boys go to college and us poor boys come to work
A drunkard wants another drink of wine, and a politician wants a vote
I don't want me nothing at all, but I will take another toke, brother

I aint asking nobody for nothing, if I can't get it on my own
If you don't like the way that I'm living
Go on and leave this long-haired country boy alone
If you don't like the way that we're living
Go on and leave us long-haired country boys alone

Go on and leave us alone

And I got to run and keep on hiding
And I'm bound to keep on riding
And I got one more silver dollar
But I'm not gonna let em catch me no
I'm not gonna let em catch me now

And I don't own the clothes I'm wearing
And that road goes on forever
And I got one more silver dollar
But I'm not gonna let em catch me no
I'm not gonna let em catch me now
No I'm not gonna let em catch me no
Not gonna let em catch me now
