Freakwater
Crazy Man
(C. Irwin)

I heard that your daddy 
Was a crazy man 
He left your mama standing 
With a dish towel in her hand 
Stick out through the back way 
Let the screendoor slam 
Hard to find the words to say 
You don't give a damn 
You said that you never 
Saw your mama cry 
Maybe she was sneaking around 
With another fellow on the slide 
I have met your mama 
And she's crazy too 
You got more from her
Than just your eyes of blue 
All the words 
Have been spoken 
All the bridges
have been burned 
And the promises broken 
It's not hard 
Just to have a little baby 
And I won't have far to go 
When I go crazy 
All the words 
Have been spoken 
All the bridges have been burned 
And the promises broken 
It's not hard 
Just to have a little baby 
And I won't have far to go 
When I go crazy 
I look into your eyes 
and I think I see 
A picture of me smiling 
With a baby on my knee 
There in that old photograph 
You never change 
Like the last time that I saw you 
When you looked so strange 
All the words 
Have been spoken 
All the bridges have been burned 
And the promises broken 
It's not hard 
Just to have a little baby 
And I won't have far to go 
When I go crazy
