Album:

I've Always Been Crazy

I don't look the way the average cowboy singer looks
 I'll admit I've taken things I never should of took
 You can read a different story in a lot of different books
 But even then you won't really know
 How it was a long time ago


 Women have been my trouble since I found out they weren't men
 In spite of that I stopped and took a wife now and then
 They built their fences high but they couldn't hold me in
 I was born with a fire down below
 And I learned to fly a long time ago


 Don't ask me about the years I spent out in the rain
 About the ones I spent in love or the ones I spent insane
 Don't ask me who I gave my seat to on that plane
 I think you already know
 I told you that a long time ago


 Me and ol' Willie, lordy we've been sold and bought
 I guess y'all heard about some kind of system that we fought
 We ain't the only outlaws just the only ones they caught
 They tried to run us off but Willie's slow
 I quit running a long time ago
