The Charlie Daniels Band Long Haired Country Boy Lyrics

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
But I d___ sure got it made
'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

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

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
