Verse 1
D
People say I’m no good and crazy as a loon

Like my daddy before me, I’m a son of a gun
A D A D
I’m just a long-haired country boy, I need a havin’ lots of fun
Chorus
D
And I ain’t askin’ nobody for nothin’

If I can’t get it on my own
D
If you don’t like the way I’m livin’
A D
You just leave this long-haired country boy alone
Verse 2
D
I don’t want much, not really needin’ that much

Just a word of kindness and a human touch

I don’t need no politics, amnesty or dope

I’m just a long-haired country boy, I got a satisfied mind and a Radio
Chorus

Get a long-haired country boy, a six-pack and my guitar
