Lyrics
It's kinda easy going thing called, "Long-haired country boy"
People say I'm no good and crazy as a loon
I get stoned in the morning and I get drunk in the afternoon
Kinda like my old blue tick hound, I like to lie around in the shade
And I ain't got no money, but I damn sure got it made
'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'
Just leave this long-haired country boy alone
Preacher man talking on T.V, 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
Poor girl wants to marry, a rich girl wants to flirt
Rich man goes to college and a poor man goes to work
Drunkard wants another drink of wine and a politician wants a vote
Well, I don't want much of nothin' at all, but I will take another toke
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
