about

Written on spec (and rejected, we assume) for the Tim Allen movie "Crazy on the Outside." We liked the script, and we harbor hopes that the movie's good--though we haven't seen it and it looks like it got a rather abbreviated theatrical release. We finished it off for Warner-Chappell, and all's well.

Other important note: Tim Allen's character breaks in to his parole officer's apartment so that he and two other ex-cons can repaint it, as a way of showing his undying affection for her. This was the plot point that sparked the lyric for us.

lyrics

dead broke, broke down, when they let me out
heart broke in the valley, the valley of the shadow of doubt
I had to break free from where I'd been
never wanna wind up there again
then I saw you, had a breakthrough
and I had to break in

crazy
I'm prob'ly looking pretty crazy on the outside
crazy
you're prob'ly wonderin' if I'm crazy on the inside
I'm not one of those guys
leading you on with their little white lies
I hope one day you're gonna realize
I know it sounds crazy but,
babe I'm only crazy for you.

wrung out, outcast, run down by the law
outrun, run o' bad luck, I know it's just the luck of the draw
I drew a long stretch and when it was done
I knew I had a longing for nowhere to run
then you showed up, and I slowed down
I knew you were the one

crazy
I'm prob'ly looking pretty crazy on the outside
crazy
you're prob'ly wonderin' if I'm crazy on the inside
I'm not one of those guys
leading you on with their little white lies
I hope one day you're gonna realize
I know it sounds crazy but,
babe I'm only crazy for you.
