Waylon Jennings – I've Always Been Crazy lyrics

Waylon Jennings – I've Always Been Crazy lyrics

Verse 1:
I've always been crazy and the trouble that it's put me through
I've been busted for things that I did, and I didn't do
I can't say I'm proud of all of the things that I've done
But I can say I've never intentionally hurt anyone

Verse 2:
I've always been different with one foot over the line
Winding up somewhere one step ahead or behind
It ain't been so easy but I guess I shouldn't complain
I've always been crazy but it's kept me from going insane

Verse 3:
Beautiful lady are you sure that you understand
The chances your taking loving a free living man
Are you really sure you really want what you see
Be careful of something that's just what you want it to be

Verse 4:
I've always been crazy but it's kept me from going insane
Nobody knows if it's something to bless or to blame
So far I ain't found a rhyme or a reason to change
I've always been crazy but it's kept me from going insane

These were the words waylon said to jessi when they got together.
Waylon got me through a very hard time during the death of 4 siblings within a 24 month period, my brother committing suicide lastly. He couldn't take the pain of loosing my brother patrick after looking after him for 25 years. Patrick was a victim of a hit & run & was severely brain damaged. Breda was found dead in her flat in london, england. She had been dead some time. Marie was diagnosed with cancer & was dead in 3 months. Only for waylons music played loud & drinking bottles of rum & coke, I too would have suicided.
I'm 61 & diabetic so I think a lot about waylon these days. I thank god for him.

There's absolutely nothing hidden about the meaning of these lines. Just read it as a warning to the girlfriend that the man (Waylon Jennings, I assume) ain't trying to fit into the "norm". He's going his own way and doesn't want anyone getting caught in the whirlwind it might cause unless they know the fats up front.
