Crazy Man (song)

Crazy Man

when I first saw him
he was standing alone
he says "I don't have a family
I don't have a home"
I said "silly boy silly boy
that is impossible"
and he looked at me and said

"I lost my soul
to that rock n' roll
and I packed up my things
and I moved to the city
but I couldn't make it far
with no gas in my car
so I got out and started to walk..."

when he was older
and lost in LA
he said to a stranger
"I got no place to say
the response was "silly man, silly man
what happened to you?"
and he looked at the stranger and said,

"I lost my soul
to that rock n' roll
and I packed up my things
and I moved to the city
but I couldn't make it far
with no gas in my car
so I got out and started to walk...

I lost track of time,
and I lost my mind
making my money
singing on the streets
so I moved to LA
but I've got no place to stay
and five years worth of doubt sinking in"

the last time I saw him
standing by the lake
he says "my life is a joke
and I am a fake
I'm a crazy man crazy man
do you want to know why?"
he turned to me and said

"I lost my soul
to that rock n' roll
and I packed up my things
and I moved to the city
but I couldn't make it far
with no gas in my car
so I got out and started to walk...

I lost track of time,
and I lost my mind
making my money
singing on the streets
so I moved to LA
but I've got no place to stay
and five years worth of doubt sinking in

ten years gone past
my car's still outta gas
and my shoes are too worn-in to walk
so I picked up my guitar
and sang a song from my heart"
he said "girl I'm so glad you didn't hear me
it's a long, sad story......"
