Junior Brown Semi-crazy
They say I gotta be half crazy to be doin’ what I do
I’m a slap happy… gear jamming… coffee drinkin’… truck
drivin’ fool
I may have a little shimmy in this cracker box Jimmie…
but I ain’t never cracked up yet
The more I try to make a buck in this beat up truck…the
more Semi Crazy I get
[CHORUS I:]
Yeah I’m Semi Crazy…..I gotta be half nuts
To keep runnin’ up and down the road in these semi
trucks
I might a had half a mind to slow it down for a time…
but I’m never gonna give it up
‘Till I’m pushin’ up daisies………..I’ll be Semi Crazy
[Verse II:]
I’m just a truck drivin’ fool who never finished
school…I got my learnin’ at the old truck stop
They said I won’t amount to much when a gear shift and
a clutch…was the only education I got
I’m just an old blue collar, semi crazy Road Scholar…
they tell me that I’m half insane
And I’ve been drivin’ so long I got diesel in my blood…
and ninety weight oil on my brain
[Chorus II]
Yeah I’m Semi Crazy…..I gotta be half nuts
To keep runnin’ up and down the road in these semi
trucks
I might a had half a mind to slow it down for a time…
but I’m never gonna give it up
‘Till I’m pushin’ up daisies………..I’ll be Semi Crazy
[VERSE III:]
Everybody says were dingy cause were too semi crazy to
stop
That’s the handle that were stuck with…no matter if we
like it or not
Through the desert and the mountains…the sunshine…the
rain….and the snow
We’ll be double clutchin’ daddies ‘till we’re over the
hill…and we’re never gonna take it slow
[CHORUS III]
Yeah I’m Semi Crazy…..I gotta be half nuts
To keep runnin’ up and down the road in these semi
trucks
I might a had half a mind to slow it down for a time…
but I’m never gonna give it up
‘Till I’m pushin’ up daisies………..I’ll be Semi Crazy
END LINES: ‘Till they put us in the ground……..they’ll
never shut us down
‘Till we’re six feet under……..we’ll be rollin’ thunder
Spoken: Junior: oh yeah…hey breaker one-nine…Red…you
out there?
You got Lenear Junior out here…come on back
Red: Hey Lenear…this is old Cornbread Red…..How ya
doin’ boy
Junior: Well, I’m a little Semi Crazy from drivin’ this
truck too long…
But I’ll be alright
Red: Ha Ha Ha…..Me too…….what do ya think of that,
Dudley ?
