Uncle Bubba was takin' a trip out to L.A. (Lower Alabama), toolin' along in a Chevrolet, tokin' on a number and diggin' on the radio. Just as he crossed the Mississippi line he heard that highway start to whine, and he knew that left rear tire was about to go. Just about this time Charlie Daniels started a-pickin’ and a-singin’ on the radio.
“People say I'm no-good,
And crazy as a loon.
I get stoned in the morning,
I get drunk in the afternoon.
Kinda like my old blue tick hound,
I like to lay around in the shade,
An', I ain't got no money,
But I damn sure got it made.
'Cos 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.”
“Ha!” Uncle Bubba laughed right out loud to himself. “Yeah buddy… that mighta been true back in the 70’s when that song came out; well what a different world we live in today!”
He’s been out here amongst these long haired country boys and buzz cut rednecks for that matter and they’re all livin’ on the government. In Bubbie’s view, they’re beggin’, barrowin’, and stealin’. They’re all bitchin’ about Obama but they’re all takin’ the money.
