[Chorus]

They call me the Crazy Lemon

I'm crazy, wild, free for a while

I can't help what they think, I was born that way

I'll be a little crazy till my dyin' day

Just a man on the run, they call me the Crazy Lemon


[Verse 1]

It's true that I stole a Budweiser truck

I changed my mind, but the truck got stuck

In a muddy ditch so I hitched it back again

The second car that passed had a cherry on top

Just my luck, it was the first to stop

They said with a grin, looky here it's the Crazy Lemon


[Chorus]

They call me the Crazy Lemon

I'm crazy, wild, free for a while

I can't help what they think, I was born that way

I'll be a little crazy till my dyin' day

Just a harlequin, they call the Crazy Lemon


[Verse 2]

Now I admit that I run a little illegal cargo

From the border and the coast, north to Fargo

Busted with a truck load of Juarez violins

Seems everything that I tried to sell

Just bought me a room in some iron hotel

Things were looking grim for the Crazy Lemon


[Chorus]

They call me the Crazy Lemon

I'm crazy, wild, free for a while

I can't help what they think, I was born that way

I'll be a little crazy till my dyin' day

Just a man on the run, they call Crazy Lemon


[Verse 3]

It's true that I jumped a little bit of bail

From a handful of city and county jails

Seeking out a spiritual hideout in the wind

It's easy to hide from a 6 foot cell

No use tryin' to hide yourself

So play another hymn for the Crazy Lemon


[Chorus]

They call me the Crazy Lemon

I'm crazy, wild, free for a while

I can't help what they think, I was born that way

I'll be a little crazy till my dyin' day

Just a face in the sun, they call the Crazy Lemon

Yeah, I'm the Crazy Lemon

Whoa, I'm the Crazy Lemon
