(verse)
RAISING HELL IN A ONE-HORSE TOWN,
TAKES A LOT OF WORK, AIN'T NOTHING AROUND.
GRAVITY DON'T APPLY TO ME,
WHEN THE WEEKEND COMES, I'M FLYING FREE,
DOWN A DUSTY ROAD, THROUGH A TUNNEL OF TREES,
I MEET MY ROWDY CROWD,
WHERE THE MUSIC'S HONKIN' AND THE BONFIRE BURNIN',
(chorus)
WE'RE CRAZY IN THE COUNTRY, FREEDOM IS FRIDAY,
LIQUID FIRE IN A MASON JAR CALLING MY NAME.
MY BABY RIDING SHOTGUN HEADING SOUTH ON THE HIGHWAY,
WE GO CRAZY IN THE COUNTRY OR WE'D GO INSANE.
(verse)
SPLIT RAIL FENCE, STARRY SKIES,
HOMEMADE WINE, FIREFLIES,
DON'T NEED NEW YORK, CANCUN OR ROME,
GOT A LITTLE PIECE OF HEAVEN RIGHT NEAR OUR HOME,
BILLY LEE'S ON A ROPE SWINGIN FROM A BRANCH
PRETENDING HE'S GUITARZAN,
SKINNY DIPPIN' TIME ON A FULL MOON NIGHT,
(chorus)
(bridge)
EVERYBODY SING DANG DANG DIGGA DANG DANG DANG.
EVERYBODY SING DANG DANG DIGGA DANG DANG DANG.
(pre-chorus lift)
DOWN A DUSTY ROAD PAST THE DAIRY QUEEN,
SEVEN MILES FROM KIMBRO'S FARM,
WHERE THE MUSIC'S HONKIN' AND THE BONFIRE BURNIN',
(chorus)
(outro)
WE'RE CRAZY IN THE COUNTRY (3 X)
WE GO CRAZY IN THE COUNTRY, OR WE'D GO INSANE.
