Crazy Every Time by Tracy Byrd

When we heard that train comin'
Should've seen old Billy Walker run
I laughed and yelled, “Hey, Billy”
You're gonna miss all the fun

Between me and that cold water
I bet there was fifty feet of air
When I jumped, that bridge was shakin'
But me, I wasn't scared
Call me crazy but when the choice was mine
I'd pick crazy every time

Mama thought she taught me
Better safe than sorry
But I guess I’ve always been the other kind

I disregard all reason
I don't look for hidden meaning
I don't really care if it don't rhyme
Born with a rebel state of mind
I'll pick crazy every time

Between drag racin', cane raisin', girl chasin'
Bootleggin', I like my livin' on edge
But ask me what I’d change and I’ll say there's one thing
To this day I still regret

She was the best thing I had goin'
Yeah, that's what Billy always said
But no one could treat me better
Love me like she did
And all I had to do was walk that line
But I’ll pick crazy every time

Mama thought she taught me
Better safe than sorry
But I guess I’ve always been the other kind

I disregard all reason
I don't look for hidden meaning
I don't really care if it don't rhyme
Born with a rebel state of mind
I'll pick crazy every time

But don't ask me, I don't know why
I'll pick crazy every time

Between me and that cold water
I bet there was fifty feet of air
