The ideals that are prominent in “Long Haired Country Boy” are freedom and self made prosperity, two highly regarded principles of the American society. As well a suggestion is stated in the chorus, to leave the “long haired country boy” alone if one should disagree with his arch American principles...
[Verse 1]
People say I'm no good
And crazy as a loon
'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
[Chorus]
'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
[Verse 2]
Preacher man talkin' on TV
Puttin' down the rock and roll
Wants me to send 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
Would like to do a little walkin' too
[Chorus]
But 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
[Verse 3]
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 your vote
I don't want much of nothin' at all
But I will take another toke
[Chorus]
But 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
