Crazy Eyes
Old Crow Medicine Show · Tennessee Pusher [2008]
I got nowhere to go
Where I can ease my mind
Nowhere can peace I find
I have a troubled mind
Worried all the time
They call me Crazy Eyes
Cause I can't keep from crying
I walked the longest mile
For the darkest while
And it killed my heart
To see my people down
They call me Crazy Eyes
I have a troubled mind
And a cardboard sign
And a jug of wine
But I'll be alright
If I can make it through the night
Say can you spare some change
I'm not the dangerous type
Just a hard-hit friend
With an empty pipe
And when the morning comes
I struggle in the light
But I'll be alright
If I can just get high
Said I'll be alright
If I can just get high
Take a look at my Crazy Eyes
Mama say if I'll be alright
Ooh Ooh Ooh
Take a look at my Crazy Eyes
Mama say if I'll be alright
Hey Hey Hey
I'm just a weary soul
I got nowhere to go
Where I cane ease my mind
Nowhere can peace I find
I have a troubled mind
Worried all the time
They call me Crazy Eyes
Cause I can't keep from crying
