作词 : McLaughlin, Prine
Back before 
I was a movie star
Straight off of the farm
I had a picture of another man's wife
Tattooed on my arm
With a pack of 
Camel cigarettes
In the sleeve of my 
Tee shirtI'm headin' out to 
HollywoodJust to have my feelings hurt
That 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 loon
So, I headed down to 
NashvilleTo become a country star
Every night you'd find me hangin'
At every honky-tonk and bar
Pretty soon 
I met a woman
Pretty soon she done me wrong
Pretty soon my life got sadder
Than any country song
That town will make you crazy
Just give it a little time
You'll be walking 'round in circles
Lookin' for that country rhyme
You'll be waitin' on a phone call
At the wrong end of a broom
Yea, that town'll make you crazy
Crazy as a loon
So, I gathered up my savvy
Bought myself a business suit
I headed up to 
New York City
Where a man can make some loot
I got hired 
Monday morning
Downsized that afternoon
Overcome with grief that evening
Now I'm crazy as a loon
So I'm up here in the 
North Woods
Just staring at a lake
Wondering just exactly how much
They think a man can take
I 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
