I was just smiling and thought about Autumn. My daughter was sitting in her tub playing with her rubber duckies when she had one say to other, "I just love it when you get that fire in your eye." It's another line from Uneasy Rider '88 which Auty had quoted in her blog a few days ago. The song is a family favorite and hearing my daughter use that line in play is quite amusing.

I also find it adorable when my six year old sings the entire song The Devil Went Down to Georgia. It's really funny when he says, "I done told you once you son of a ..." and then hesitates because he knows if I hear him say "bitch" he's in trouble. We've told him to say "son of a gun" and that's what he says...when he knows we're within earshot.

Anyway, I thought I'd "sing" one of my favorite Charlie Daniels.

Long Haired Country Boy

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 old 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.

But I ain't asking nobody for nothing
if I can't get it on my own.
If you don't like the way I'm living
you just leave this long haired country boy alone.

Preacher man talking on TV,
and puttin' down the rock and 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 it's true.
But sometimes I think that preacher man would
like to do a little walking too.

But I ain't asking nobody for nothing
if I can't get it on my own.
If you don't like the way I'm living
you just leave this long haired country boy alone.

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 the vote.
I don't want much of nothing at all,
but I will take another toke.

'Cause I ain't aking nobody for nothing
if I can't get it on my own.
If you don't like the way I'm living
you just leave this long haired country boy alone.
