Lyrics
People still talkin' how crazy I used to be
Crazy as a horse trying to climb a tree
People still talkin' 'bout the crazy things I used to do
Always been a little crazy
But I've never had the blues
Crazy in the mornin'
Crazy at noon
Howl at the sun
Growl at the moon
Add a little whiskey and I'll sing right outta tune
Now crazy is crazy
But I never had the blues
Now crazy is crazy
But I never had the Blues
Now I didn't get this crazy like the horse in the tree
Without the politicians messing with you and me
And letting our resources leave the country pretty much for free
And cutting off our workers just below the knees
Now we look to politicians to help set the mood
To help level the playing field for me and you
When most of us got poorer except the richest few
Well I get real crazy
And I finally got the blues
I get crazy crazy
And I finally got the blues
