When we heard that train a comin'

Should've seen old Billy Walker run

I laughed and yelled hey Billy

You're gonna miss all the fun



Between me and that cold water

I bet there was fifty feet of air

When I jumped that bridge was shakin'

But me I wasn't scared

Call me crazy but when the choice was mine

I'd pick crazy every time



Mama thought she taught me

Better safe than sorry but I guess I've always 

Been the other kind

I disregard all reason don't look for hidden meaning

And I don't really care if it don't rhyme

Born with a rebel state of mind

I'll pick crazy every time



Between drag racin' cane raisin' girl chasin'

Bootleggin' I like my livin' on edge

Ask me what I'd change and I'll say there's one thing

To this day I still regret



She was the best thing I had goin'

That's what Billy Walker said

Nobody else will treat me better 

Love me like she did

All I had to do was walk that line

But I'll pick crazy every time



Mama thought she taught me

Better safe than sorry but I guess I've always 

Been the other kind

I disregard all reason don't look for hidden meaning

And I don't really care if it don't rhyme

Born with a rebel state of mind

I'll pick crazy every time
