     G                      D
They call me the Crazy Lemon
                            A
I'm crazy, wild, free for a while

Verse 1:
D
It's true that I stole a Budweiser truck
  G
I changed my mind, but the truck got stuck
     D                                 A
In a muddy ditch so I hitched it back again
           D
The second car that passed had a cherry on top
G
Just my luck, it was the first to stop
     D                       A                   D
They said with a grin, looky here it's the Crazy Lemon


Chorus:
     G                      D

I can't help what they think, I was born that way
     G
I'll be a little crazy till my dyin' day
       D                    A                 D

Verse 2:
        D
Now I admit that I run a little illegal cargo
         G
From the border and the coast, north to Fargo
D                                     A
Busted with a truck load of Juarez violins
      D
Seems everything that I tried to sell
     G
Just bought me a room in some iron hotel
D                   A                  D
Things were looking grim for the Crazy Lemon


Chorus:
     G                      D
They call me the Crazy Lemon
                            A
I'm crazy, wild, free for a while
        D
I can't help what they think, I was born that way
     G
I'll be a little crazy till my dyin' day
       D                    A                 D
Just a man on the run, they call me the Crazy Lemon


Verse 3:
D
It's true that I jumped a little bit of bail
       G
From a handful of city and county jails
D                                      A
Seeking out a spiritual hideout in the wind
     D
It's easy to hide from a 6 foot cell
G
No use tryin' to hide yourself
   D            A                  D
So play another hymn for the Crazy Lemon


[Out-Chorus]
     G                      D
They call me the Crazy Lemon
                            A
I'm crazy, wild, free for a while
        D
I can't help what they think, I was born that way
     G
I'll be a little crazy till my dyin' day
       D                     A              D
Just a face in the sun, they call the Crazy Lemon
              A     D
Yeah, I'm the Crazy Lemon
              A     D
Whoa, I'm the Crazy Lemon
