KID SAID LIFE (Crazy) 50 years to get the title right









This is one of the weirdest singin performances, don't know what got into me...i bagged it for a long time...heard it the other day, and said, damn that's strange!  It took me about 30 years to finish



and maybe I'm still workin on it...because I just came up with a new title, "Crazy"...right Willie?  Dang! I must be the slowest songwriter in the world.  I started this song in 1970 on my dad's farm...that's where I got the first line...



Crazy

(Kid Said Life)



I was walkin down a lonely hillside

wadin' thourgh the summer grass

I left my breath behind my back

I was goin nowhere fast



I chanced to meet a skinny kid

Searchin' for some time to pass

I stopped my breath hung all around me

I spoke my words they greeted him



The kid was lean his face almost mean

He had a frown from his chin to his crown

He said, "Life"

Is drivin' me crazy.
