People say I'm no good and crazy as a loon 
 
Cause I get stoned in the morning I get drunk in the afternoon 
 
Kind of like my ole 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

   D 
Preacher man talking on TV putting down the rock'n 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 is true 
 
But sometimes I think that preacher man'd like to do a little walking too, but 
 
 
REPEAT CHORUS & RIFF 
 
 
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 to vote 
 
I don't want much of nothing at all but I will take another toke, but
