Back before I was a movie star Straight off of the farm I had a picture of another man's wife Tattooed on my armWith a pack of Camel cigarettes In the sleeve of my Tee shirt I'm headin' out to Hollywood Just to have my feelings hurtThat town will make you crazy Just give it a little time You'll be walking 'round in circles Down at Hollywood and VineYou'll be waitin' on a phone call At the wrong end of a broom Yes, that town'll make you crazy Crazy as a loonSo, I headed down to Nashville To become a country star Every night you'd find me hangin' At every honky-tonk and barPretty soon I met a woman Pretty soon she done me wrong Pretty soon my life got sadder Than any country songThat town will make you crazy Just give it a little time You'll be walking 'round in circles Lookin' for that country rhymeYou'll be waitin' on a phone call At the wrong end of a broom Yea, that town'll make you crazy Crazy as a loonSo, I gathered up my savvy Bought myself a business suit I headed up to New York City Where a man can make some lootI got hired Monday morning Downsized that afternoon Overcome with grief that evening Now I'm crazy as a loonSo I'm up here in the North Woods Just staring at a lake Wondering just exactly how much They think a man can takeI eat fish to pass the time away 'Neath this blue Canadian moon This old world has made me crazy Crazy as a loon Lord, this world will make you crazy Crazy as a loon
