Crazy As A Loon Lyrics - Fair And Square - John 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 shirt 

I'm headin' out to Hollywood 

Just 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 Vine 

You'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 Nashville 

To 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
