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.
