They say I gotta be half crazy to be doin' what I do 
I'm a slap happyÂ… gear jammingÂ… coffee drinkin'Â… truck 
drivin' fool 
I may have a little shimmy in this cracker box JimmieÂ…
but I ain't never cracked up yet 
The more I try to make a buck in this beat up truckÂ…the 
more Semi Crazy I get 

[CHORUS I:] 

Yeah I'm Semi CrazyÂ…..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 timeÂ…
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 
schoolÂ…I got my learnin' at the old truck stop 
They said I won't amount to much when a gear shift and 
a clutchÂ…was the only education I got 
I'm just an old blue collar, semi crazy Road ScholarÂ…
they tell me that I'm half insane 
And I've been drivin' so long I got diesel in my bloodÂ…
and ninety weight oil on my brain 

[Chorus II] 

Yeah I'm Semi CrazyÂ…..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 timeÂ…
‘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 withÂ…no matter if we 
like it or not 
Through the desert and the mountainsÂ…the sunshineÂ…the 
rainÂ….and the snow 
We'll be double clutchin' daddies ‘till we're over the 
hillÂ…and we're never gonna take it slow 

[CHORUS III] 

Yeah I'm Semi CrazyÂ…..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 timeÂ…
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 yeahÂ…hey breaker one-nineÂ…RedÂ…you 
out there? 
You got Lenear Junior out hereÂ…come on back 
Red: Hey LenearÂ…this is old Cornbread RedÂ…..How ya 
doin' boy 
Junior: Well, I'm a little Semi Crazy from drivin' this 
truck too longÂ… 
But I'll be alright 
Red: Ha Ha HaÂ…..Me tooÂ…Â….what do ya think of that, 
Dudley ?
