about

Words & Music by Steve Fromholz (Prophecy Publishing ASCAP/Bug Music BMI)

From the first time I heard it on Willie Nelson's Greatest Hits album I fell madly in love with this song. Such a beautiful combination of the familiar shield of humor and tender confession...an absolute masterpiece as far as I'm concerned.

lyrics

I'd have to be crazy to stop all my singing
And never play music again
You'd call me a fool if I grabbed up a top hat
And ran out to flag down the wind
I'd have to be weird to grow me a beard
Just to see what the rednecks would do
I'd have to be crazy, plum out of my mind
To fall out of love with you

I know I've done weird things, told people I hear-ed things
When silence was all that abound
Been days when it pleased me to be on my knees
Following ants as they crawled across the ground
Been insane on a train but I'm still me again
And the place where I hold you is true
I know I'm alright cuz I'd have to be crazy
To fall out of love with you

You know I don't intend to
But should there come a day
When i say that i don't love you
They can lock me away

I sure would be dingy to live in an envelope
Just waiting alone for a stamp
You'd swear I was loco if I rubbed for a genie
While burning my hand on the lamp
And I may not be normal but nobody is
I'd like to say 'for I'm through
I'd have to be crazy, plum out of my mind
To fall out of love with you
