Semi-Crazy - Junior Brown, Red Simpson

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?
