I'd Have To Be Crazy

(album: Songs We Wish We'd Written - 2001)

I'd have to be crazy to stop all my singing
And never play music again.
You'd call me a fool if I grabbed up a top hat
And ran out to flag down the wind

I'd have to be weird to grow me a beard
Just to see what the rednecks would do
But I'd have to be crazy; plumb out of my mind
To fall out of love with you

I know I've done weird things;
I told people I hear things
When silence was all in the bounds
There's been days when it pleased me
To be on my knees

Following ants as they crawled 'cross the ground
Been insane on a train, but I'm still me again
In the place where I hold you it's true
So I know I'm all right, 'cause I'd have to be crazy
To fall out of love with you.

You know I don't intend to, but should there come a day
When I say that I don't love you, you can lock me away
I sure would be dingy, to live in an envelope
Waiting alone for a stamp
You'd swear I was loco to rub for a genie
While burning my hand on the lamp
And I may not be normal, but nobody is
So I'd like to say 'fore I'm through
I'd have to be crazy, plumb out of my mind
To fall out of love with you

I'd have to be crazy, plumb out of my mind
To fall out of love with you
