Peo ple say I’m no good, I’m cra zy as a loon,

’cause I get stoned in the morn ing, I get drunk in the af ter noon.

Kind a like my old blue tick hound, I like to lay a round in the shade.

And I ain’t got no mon ey, but I damn sure got it made.

’Cause I ain’t ask in’ no bod y for noth in’

if I can’t get it on my (D)own.

If you don’t (A)like the way I’m liv in’, you just (C)leave this (G)long (Am)haired (G)coun try (F)boy a lone.

Preach er man talk ing on T.

V.,

put tin’ down the rock and roll.

Wants me to send a do na tion, ’cause he’s wor ried a bout my soul.

He said, “Je sus walked on the wa ter,” and I know that it’s true.

But some times I think that preach er man would like to do a lit tle walk ing, too.

But I ain’t ask in’ no bod y for noth in’

if I can’t get it on my (D)own.

If you don’t (A)like the way I’m liv in’, you just (C)leave this (G)long (Am)haired (G)coun try (F)boy a lone.

A poor girl wants to mar ry and a rich girl wants to flirt.

A rich man goes to col lege and a poor man goes to work.

A drunk ard wants an oth er drink of wine and a pol i ti cian wants your vote.

I don’t want much of noth ing at all, but I will take an oth er toke.

But I ain’t ask in’ no bod y for noth in’

if I can’t get it on my (D)own.

If you don’t (A)like the way I’m liv in’, you just (C)leave this (G)long (Am)haired (G)coun try (F)boy a lone.
