People As Crazy As Me

(Tom T. Hall)



I lie on back and I look at the ceiling

My body's caressed by a cool summer breeze

I won't have no friends and I won't have no sweethearts

Unless they're as crazy as me.



I might have been rich and I might have been famous

But I wouldn't follow the dreams

It went up a mountain and I stayed in the valley

With people as crazy as me.



(He won't have no friends and he won't have no sweethearts

Unless they're as crazy as him.)



--- Instrumental ---



You know nothing can get you if you ain't got nothing

And you ain't got hardly nobody to please

I've got friends a plenty they're better than enemies

But they're all as crazy as me.



I might have been rich and I might have been famous

But I wouldn't follow the dreams

It went up a mountain and I stayed in the valley

With people as crazy as me.



(He won't have no friends and he won't have no sweethearts

Unless they're as crazy as him.)



When they write it all down in the Big Book in heaven

They'll give us a cabin out under the trees

I'll lie on my back and stare at the ceiling

With people as crazy as me.



I might have been rich and I might have been famous

But I wouldn't follow the dreams

It went up a mountain and I stayed in the valley

With people as crazy as me.



(He won't have no friends and he won't have no sweethearts

Unless they're as crazy as him...)
