Nitro Express

hey say I gotta be half crazy to be doin' what I do 
I'm a slap happy... gear jamming... coffee drinkin'... truck drivin' 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 

[CHORUS I:] 

Yeah I'm Semi Crazy.....I gotta be half nuts 
To keep runnin' 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 
'Till I'm pushin' up daisies...........I'll be Semi Crazy 

[Verse II:] 

I'm just a truck drivin' fool who never finished school...I got my learnin' 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 drivin' so long I got diesel in my blood...and ninety weight oil on my brain 

[Chorus II] 

Yeah I'm Semi Crazy.....I gotta be half nuts 
To keep runnin' 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 
'Till I'm pushin' up daisies...........I'll be Semi Crazy 

[VERSE III:] 

Everybody says were dingy cause were 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 clutchin' daddies 'till we're over the hill...and we're never gonna take it slow 

[CHORUS III] 

Yeah I'm Semi Crazy.....I gotta be half nuts 
To keep runnin' 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 
'Till I'm pushin' up daisies...........I'll be Semi Crazy 

END LINES: 'Till they put us in the ground........they'll never shut us down 
'Till we're six feet under........we'll be rollin' thunder 
Spoken: Junior: oh yeah...hey breaker one-nine...Red...you out there? 
You got Lenear Junior out here. [bad word] on back 
Red: Hey Lenear...this is old Cornbread Red.....How ya doin' boy 
Junior: Well, I'm a little Semi Crazy from drivin' this truck too long... 
But I'll be alright 
Red: Ha Ha Ha.....Me too.......what do ya think of that, Dudley ?
