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
