Red Simpson - Semi-Crazy lyrics
They say I gotta be half crazy to be doing what I do I'm a slap happy, gear jamming coffee drinking, truck driving 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 Yeah, I'm semi-crazy, I gotta be half nuts To keep running 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 'til I'm pushing up daisies I'll be semi-crazy I'm just a truck driving fool who never finished school I got my learning 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 driving so long, I got diesel in my blood And ninety weight oil on my brain 'Cause I'm semi-crazy, yeah, 'bout half nuts To keep running 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 'til I'm pushing up daisies I'll be semi-crazy Everybody says we're dingy 'cause we're 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 clutching daddies 'til we're over the hill And we're never gonna take it slow Yeah, I'm semi-crazy, I gotta be half nuts To keep running 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 'til I'm pushing up daisies I'll be semi-crazy 'Til they put us in the ground They'll never shut us down Till we're six feet under We'll be rolling thunder Oh yeah, hey breaker one nine Red, you out there? You got Lenear Junior out here Come on back Hey Lenear, this is old Cornbread Red How ya doing, boy? Well, I'm a little semi-crazy From drivin' this truck too long but I'll be alright Ha, ha, ha, me too What do ya think of that, Dudley?
