Charlie Daniels - Long Haired Country Boy lyrics

rate me

People say I'm no-good,

And crazy as a loon.

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,

An', I ain't got no money,

But I damn sure got it made.

'Cos 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 talkin' on the TV,

He's a-puttin' down the rock 'n' roll.

He wants me to send a donation,'Cos he's worried about my soul.

He said: "Jesus walked on the water,"And I know that is true,

But sometimes I think that preacher man,

Would like to do a little walkin', too.

But I ain't askin' nobody for nothin',

If I can't get it on my own.

You don't like the way I'm livin',

You just leave this long-haired country boy alone.

Instrumental Break.

A poor girl wants to marry, And a rich girl wants to flirt.

A rich man goes to college,And a poor man goes to work.

A drunkard wants another drink of wine,And a politician wants a vote.

I don't want much of nothin' at all,But I will take another toke.

'Cos 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.
