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 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
