 verse 1
D
People say I'm no good, and crazy as a loon
                                   
Cause I get stoned in the morning, I get drunk in the afternoon
 
Kinda like my Ol' Blue tick hound I like to lay around in the shade
                                                   d7
and i aint got no money, but i damn sure got it made,

           G                                                  D
But I aint askin nobody for nothin, if I can't get it on my own.
 
             A
If you don't like the way I'm livin
          G                                 D
You just leave this long haired country boy alone

Verse 2
D 
Preacher man talkin' on the tv, puttin' down the rock and roll

Wants me to give 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'd like to do a little walkin' too

Verse 3
 D
A Poor girl wants to marry and the rich girl wants to flirt

A rich man goes to college and the poor man goes to work

Drunkard wants another drink of wine and the politician wants a vote
                                                           d7
I don't want much of nothin at all but I will take another toke
