3:38People say I'm no good Crazy as a loon 'Cause I get up in the morning I get down in the afternoon, yeah Kinda like my old blue tick hound Used to lay around on the shade And I ain't got no money But I damn 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 He wants me to send a donation 'Cause he's worried about my soul The man 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 '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 Yeah, a poor girl wants to marry And a rich girl wants to flirt Yeah, a rich man goes to college And a poor man goes to work Only a drunkard wants another drink of wine And a politician wants your vote Yeah, and I don't want much of nothing at all But I will tell another joke 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 If you don't like the way I'm livin' You just leave this long haired country boy alone Oh, yeah Mercy
