James paskins[Intro]
(Spoken, Deep Southern Drawl over a slow, heavy hip-hop b**t with subtle slide guitar)
Yeah... alright now... let me tell y'all 'bout somethin'...
[Verse 1]
Remember senior year, back behind the bleachers?
Sun goin' down, studyin' her features
Hair like spun gold, eyes like the summer sky
Sweetest little thing, shy as a butterfly
Had a crush so deep, felt it in my bones
But she was flyin' high, leavin' me alone
Just a country boy, boots caked in red clay
Watched her drive off, headin' far away
Yeah, she got away... clean off the map
Left me with a memory and a baseball cap
Thought that was the end, closed that dusty book
'Til last Friday night, down by the old creek nook...
[Chorus]
(Sung with drawl, slightly melodic over the b**t)
Saw her standin' there, lookin' Crazy Beautiful
Time turned the page, but the story's still full
Of that wild light shinin' in her eyes
Yeah, Crazy Beautiful, under these country skies
Still takes my breath, like a k**k in the chest
But that look she got... puts my mind to the test
Crazy Beautiful... oh, Lord, it's true
Just as pretty as sin, and twice as wild too.
[Verse 2]
Walked on up, tipped my hat, said "Howdy, darlin'"
That smile hit me, bright as a starlin'
Same curves, same laugh, like honey and wine
But somethin' flickered, somethin' outta line
Talked 'bout Nashville dreams and a broken-down car
Bout a tattooed ex who played lead guitar
Laughed too loud, eyes darted quick and fast
Talked 'bout fortunes told and shadows from the past
Said she wrestled gators down in the Everglades
Said she knew my thoughts in a dozen different ways
Beautiful? Oh yeah, sun couldn't shine brighter
But crazy? Honey, she done set the whole place on fire.
[Chorus]
(Sung with drawl, slightly melodic over the b**t)
Saw her standin' there, lookin' Crazy Beautiful
Time turned the page, but the story's still full
Of that wild light shinin' in her eyes
Yeah, Crazy Beautiful, under these country skies
Still takes my breath, like a k**k in the chest
But that look she got... puts my mind to the test
Crazy Beautiful... oh, Lord, it's true
Just as pretty as sin, and twice as wild too.
[Bridge]
(Spoken/Rapped, slower tempo)
Yeah... makes a man think twice...
That kinda fire... burns real nice...
But burns real hot... leaves a mark, you see...
Beautiful storm... blowin' right over me...
Gotta tread light... 'round a heart like that...
Know when to hold... know when to step back...
[Chorus]
(Sung with drawl, slightly melodic over the b**t)
Saw her standin' there, lookin' Crazy Beautiful
Time turned the page, but the story's still full
Of that wild light shinin' in her eyes
Yeah, Crazy Beautiful, under these country skies
Still takes my breath, like a k**k in the chest
But that look she got... puts my mind to the test
Crazy Beautiful... oh, Lord, it's true
Just as pretty as sin, and twice as wild too.
[Outro]
(Spoken, Deep Southern Drawl, b**t fades with guitar)
Crazy Beautiful... yeah... Crazy Beautiful...
Always was... always will be...
Mmmhmm... Crazy Beautiful...
