Lyrics Crazy Eddie's Last Hurrah - Reckless Kelly, Merel Bregante

Crazy Eddie's Last Hurrah

Well it sure didn’t take too long
I woke up one mornin', she was gone
And the note that she wrote didn’t say «Dear John»
It said, «Goodbye, sucker, I’m gone!»
She was a home-grown mountain girl
Raised in a different world
I was a wanna-be rocker, she was more into Merle
And I couldn’t see it just wouldn’t work
And now I’m double fisting longnecks
And grapefruit and Stoli
But I’m never gettin' over Jolie
Well I pulled myself in my car
I drove it on down to the bar
But they wouldn’t let me in, 'cause I ain’t a movie star
So I went to the Horseshoe on Lamar
The bouncer threw me out at two
And I didn’t know what to do
So I picked up the phone and I called guess who
But the call block wouldn’t let me through
And now I’m wishin' for some drugs
Or a shrink to console me
But I’m never gettin' over Jolie
Well I gathered up all of my guns
And a pipe bomb just for fun
And I drove to her house and parked on the lawn
She’s right, I always was a crazy one
Well her boyfriend was sure nice to me
He said, Calm down, would you like a drink?
And then I shot him full of holes from his nose to his knees
And I polished off my little sweet pea
And now I’m cryin' on my knees, feelin' dirty and unholy
But I’m never gettin' over Jolie
Now I’ll prob’ly get life and serve at least forty
But I’m never gettin' over Jolie
