Crazy Wind James McMurtry
CRAZY WIND
James McMurtry
Gone off in the pitch-blac[Am]k dark, to [G]work the morning tour
He''[Am]s halfway to the highway, and he won''t be back for hours
His [G]tail lights down the gravel road, you watch them round the [Am]bend
[G] Nothing''s on the TV, but[Am] something''s in the wind
And it makes you [G]crazy, and it makes you [Am]blue
It''s a restless[G] feeling, and it''s nothi[Am]ng new
Listen to the buzzing of the June bugs and the flies
The sink''s all full of dishes, you might just let ''em lie
You might just pour yourself a drink, and sit outside awhile
He won''t miss the whiskey, he knows it''s not your style
And he don''t care enough, to even wonder why
You fight off his fumbling hands, with daggers in your eyes
Time sure flies when you''re having fun[F] [C]
[G] Wasn''t it just yesterday you[Am] turned twenty-one
[F] Does it still matter what you [C]might have done, had you [G]tried[F] [Am]
His bird dogs in their wire cage, are barking at the moon
You turn the covers back, and hope the dawn don''t come too soon
Draw the shades to keep your dark eyes
From the glare of the vapor light
But the sheets are cool and empty, and you won''t sleep tonight
With a half moon rising, and a warm gusty breeze
Blowing from the southwest, whispering in the trees
Chorus Break
The asphalt ''neath the tires, makes a hollow whining sound
And it stretches on forever through a thousand little towns
With their stores all dark and silent
And their flashing yellow lights
And nobody sees your passing, in the fury of your flight
You''ll see them later, some other day
Self preservation, what can you say
Time sure flies when you''re having fun
Your mind''s all made up now and it''s all said and done
Flying down the four lane with the morning sun, in your eyes
