[Verse 1]
People say I'm no good
And I'm crazy as a loon
'Cause I get stoned every mornin'
I get drunk every afternoon
Kinda like my old bluetick hound
I like to lay around in the shade
I ain't got no money
But I damn sure got it made
[Chorus]
And I ain't askin' nobody for nothin'
If I can't get it on my own
If you don't like the way that I'm livin'
You can leave this long-haired country boy alone
[Verse 2]
Preacher man talkin' on the TV
Puttin' down on the rock 'n' roll
Wants me to send a donation
'Cause he's worried about my soul
He said Jesus walked on the water
Yes sir, I know that it's true
But sometimes I think that preacher man
Might like to do a little walkin' too
[Chorus]
And I ain't askin' nobody for nothin'
If I can't get it on my own
If you don't like the way that I'm livin'
You can 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 us poor boys go 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
[Chorus]
And I ain't askin' nobody for nothin'
If I can't get it on my own
If you don't like the way that I'm livin'
You can leave this long-haired country boy alone
If you don't like the way that I'm livin'
You can leave this long-haired country boy alone

Me and the boys have been playing this cover for years on the road and it has always been a crowd favorite. We had never thought about recording it until it was time to make this new project and we felt like it was a perfect fit.
When we went to record it we wanted to make it our own and do it differently than the versions that are out already. We recorded it live in the studio and the band nailed it the first take. We made a few more attempts at it but the first one had the magic. Sadler added some guitar but everything els...
