Song | Crazy As a Loon |
Artist | John Prine |
Album | Fair & Square |
作词 : McLaughlin, Prine | |
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 shirtI'm headin' out to | |
HollywoodJust 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 | |
VineYou'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 | |
NashvilleTo 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 |
