Crazy Lemon Lyrics - Joe Ely

They call me the Crazy Lemon 

I'm crazy, wild, free for a while 

I can't help what they think, I was born that way 

I'll be a little crazy till my dyin' day 

Just a man on the run, they call the Crazy Lemon 

It's true that I stole a Budweiser truck 

I changed my mind but the truck got stuck 

In a muddy ditch, so I hitched it back again 

The second car that passed had a cherry on top 

But just my luck, it was a first to stop 

They said with a grin, "Looky here, it's the Crazy Lemon" 

They call me the Crazy Lemon 

I'm crazy, wild, free for a while 

I can't help what they think, I was born that way 

I'll be a little crazy till my dyin' day 

Just a man on the run, they call the Crazy Lemon 

It's true that I run a little illegal cargo 

From the border and the coast, north to Fargo 

Busted with a truck load of Juarez aspirins 

Seems everything that I tried to sell 

Just bought me a room in some Iron Hotel 

Things were looking grim for the Crazy Lemon 

They call me the Crazy Lemon 

I'm crazy, wild, free for a while 

I can't help what they think, I was born that way 

I'll be a little crazy till my dyin' day 

Just a man on the run, they call the Crazy Lemon 

Hey, I've jumped a little bit of bail 

From a handful of city, county jail 

Seeking out a spiritual hideout in the wind 

It's easy to hide from a 6 foot cell 

No use tryin', hide from yourself 

Just play another hymn for the Crazy Lemon 

They call me the Crazy Lemon 

I'm crazy, wild, free for a while 

I can't help what they think, I was born that way 

I'll be a little crazy till my dyin' day 

Just a man on the run, they call the Crazy Lemon 

Hey, I'm a Crazy Lemon 

Ho, I'm a Crazy Lemon
