Long Haired Country Boy Lyrics
cause i get stoned in the mornin'
i get drunk in the afternoon
kinda like my old blue tick hound i like to lay around in the shade
and i ain't got no money but i damn sure got it made
cause i ain't askin nobody for nothing
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 on the tv puttin down the rock and roll,
wants me to send a donation cuzz hes worried about my soul
he said Jesus walked on the water, and i know that its true
but sometimes i think that preacher man would like 2 do a little walkin to
cuzz i aint askin nobody for nothin
if i cant get it on my own
if you dont like the way im livin
you just leave this long haired country boy alone
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 polictian wants your vote
i don't want much of nothing at all but i will take another toke
cause i ain't askin nobody for nothing
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
A libertarian manifesto
This is the best song ever written about countrified, dope-smoking hippies, not the priveleged hippies that occupied colleges back in the 1960's. He leans to the right, he defends his way of life, and he's too drunk or stoned to do a hard day's work. But he doesn't give a shit and he doesn't want help from anybody. Can you blame him for really being lazy then?
Great song. Just stay out of my business and I'll stay out of yours. Wisdom to live by.
Perfect way of thinking. Personally I can identify with this song (outside of getting stoned in the morning and drunk in the afternoon). My life is my business so stay out of it. I love how he contrasts the rich and poor because for the 90% of the time part it's true. On a side note, I'd prefer to see the correct lyrics rather than reading it in text language. That just annoys me.

I want to know what he means by “sometimes I think that preacher man would like to do a little walking to”. I’m sure I’m not perfect on that but that phrase has always stuck with me. Does it mean he thinks the preacher wants to walk away sometimes? Take the parishioners money and run? Never got that line
@mooncricke could it be that "walking" is a metaphor for the carefree life he has?? That is perhaps the preacher wishes he didn't need to "sell" and "want" from others ... instead walk the life of the narrator ... "But I ain't asking nobody for nothin'"???
