Story behind the song
While seeing a chiropractor and trying to understand the cause of why I was so out of alignment, it struck me that all the tension, stress and achy muscles was because I was unhappy over the breakup with my girlfriend. No matter what problems we had, I was much better with her than without.

Lyrics
CRACK'A MA' BACK
Woke up stiff and cranky, had this low back pain.
Ever since you left I'm feelin' all this stress and strain.
All nite long a'strugglin' with my flock of sheep,
life was so much better when you walked all over me.
CRACK'A MA' BACK, honey,
CRACK'A MA' BACK, set me free.
(Chiropractor! Chiropractor!)
CRACK'A MA' BACK, honey,
CRACK'A MA' BACK, come back to me.
Sittin' on the sofa feelin' all bent out of shape,
don't know how much more of all this achin' I can take.
Lay your hands on me, got that healer's touch.
Squeeze me like ya do, so I can kick away this crutch.
CRACK'A MA' BACK, honey,
CRACK'A MA' BACK, set me free.
(Chiropractor! Chiropractor!)
CRACK'A MA' BACK, honey,
CRACK'A MA' BACK, come back to me.
Movin' up my spinal column a CRACK at a time.
Twist my neck, looks like I lost my mind.
Twisted body like an uptight rattlesnake...
Unwind me...Snap! CRACK! Uh!
Baby, I start to shake!
Think I feel arthritis settlin' in my bone,
sittin' with your photograph, feel so cold and alone.
I love you girl, love you good and bad,
you're the best doctor, this man's ever had.
CRACK'A MA' BACK, honey,
CRACK'A MA' BACK, set me free.
(Chiropractor! Chiropractor!)
CRACK'A MA' BACK, honey,
CRACK'A MA' BACK, come back to me.
Well, come on back.
CRACK'A MA' BACK.
Come on back.
CRACK MA' BACK.
CRACK'A MA' BACK. honey,
CRACK'A MA' BACK.
Come on back!
