Back before I was a movie star
Straight off of the farm
I had a picture of another man's wife
Tattooed on my armWith a pack of Camel cigarettes
In the sleeve of my Tee shirt
I'm headin' out to Hollywood
Just to have my feelings hurtThat town will make you crazy
Just give it a little time
You'll be walking 'round in circles
Down at Hollywood and VineYou'll be waitin' on a phone call
At the wrong end of a broom
Yes, that town'll make you crazy
Crazy as a loonSo, I headed down to Nashville
To become a country star
Every night you'd find me hangin'
At every honky-tonk and barPretty soon I met a woman
Pretty soon she done me wrong
Pretty soon my life got sadder
Than any country songThat town will make you crazy
Just give it a little time
You'll be walking 'round in circles
Lookin' for that country rhymeYou'll be waitin' on a phone call
At the wrong end of a broom
Yea, that town'll make you crazy
Crazy as a loonSo, I gathered up my savvy
Bought myself a business suit
I headed up to New York City
Where a man can make some lootI got hired Monday morning
Downsized that afternoon
Overcome with grief that evening
Now I'm crazy as a loonSo I'm up here in the North Woods
Just staring at a lake
Wondering just exactly how much
They think a man can takeI eat fish to pass the time away
'Neath this blue Canadian moon
This old world has made me crazy
Crazy as a loon
Lord, this world will make you crazy
Crazy as a loon

Prine was initially a spectator, reluctant to perform, but eventually did so in response to a "You think you can do better?" comment made to him by another performer. Chicago Sun-Times movie critic Roger Ebert heard him there and wrote the first review Prine ever received, calling him a great songwriter.... продолжение
