I'VE ALWAYS BEEN CRAZY
written and performed by Waylon Jennings.
Capo on the 2nd fret.
[Verse 1]
I've alwGays been crazy and the trouble that it's put me through
I've been busted for things that i did,and i diC/Gdn't do
I can't Dsay i'm proud of all of the things that i've done
But i can say i've never intentionally hurt anGyone
[Verse 2]
I've Galways been different with one foot over the line
Winding up somewhere one step ahead or bC/Gehind
It ain't Dbeen so easy but i guess i shouldn't complain
I've always been crazy but it's kept me from going iGnsane
[Verse 3]
BeautGiful lady are you sure that you undersDtand
The chances your taking loving a free livinGg man
Are you really sure you really want what yoDu see
Be careful of something that's just what you want it tGo be
[Verse 4]
I've Galways been crazy but it's kept me from going insane
Nobody knows if it's something to bless or to C/Gblame
So fDar i ain't found a rhyme or a reason to change
I've always been crazy but it's kept me from going inGsane

The story behind the song

This song embodies the spirit of Waylon Jennings, a pioneer of the outlaw movement in country music. He started playing guitar at eight and dedicated his life to music, even leaving high school at sixteen to pursue it. The title itself suggests a defiant embrace of one's true nature, reflecting a life lived outside conventional boundaries. It plays like a declaration of self-acceptance and a nod to a life lived on one's own terms.
