Karaoké Crazy as a Loon 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 t-shirt

I'm headin' out to Hollywood just to have my feelings hurt

That town'll make you crazy

Just give it a little time

You'll be walkin' '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-tonkin' 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'll make you crazy

Just give it a little time

You'll be walkin' 'round in circles lookin' for that country rhyme

You'll be waitin' on a phone call at the wrong end of a broom

Yeah 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 mornin'

Downsized that afternoon

Overcome with grief that evenin'

Now I'm crazy as a loon

So I'm up here in the North Woods just starin' at a lake

Wonderin' 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'll make you crazy

Crazy as a loon
