Crazy As a Loon |
| Back before I was a movie star |
| Straight off of the farm |
| I had a picture of another man’s wife |
| Tattooed on my arm |
| With a pack of Camel cigarettes |
| In the sleeve of my tee shirt |
| I’m headin' out to Hollywood |
| Just to have my feelings hurt |
| That town will make you crazy |
| Just give it a little time |
| You’ll be walking 'round in circles |
| Down at Hollywood and Vine |
| You’ll be waitin' on a phone call |
| At the wrong end of a broom |
| Yes, that town’ll make you crazy |
| Crazy as a loon |
| So, I headed down to Nashville |
| To become a country star |
| Every night you’d find me hangin' |
| At every honky-tonk and bar |
| Pretty soon I met a woman |
| Pretty soon she done me wrong |
| Pretty soon my life got sadder |
| Than any country song |
| That town will make you crazy |
| Just give it a little time |
| You’ll be walking 'round in circles |
| Lookin' for that country rhyme |
| You’ll be waitin' on a phone call |
| At the wrong end of a broom |
| Yea, that town’ll make you crazy |
| Crazy as a loon |
| So, I gathered up my savvy |
| Bought myself a business suit |
| I headed up to New York City |
| Where a man can make some loot |
| I got hired Monday morning |
| Downsized that afternoon |
| Overcome with grief that evening |
| Now I’m crazy as a loon |
| So I’m up here in the north woods |
| Just staring at a lake |
| Wondering just exactly how much |
| They think a man can take |
| I eat fish to pass the time away |
| 'Neath this blue Canadian moon |
| This old world has made me crazy |
| Crazy as a loon |
| Lord, this world will make you crazy |
| Crazy as a loon |
