1-4-5 country song with a minor chord in the bridge.
Jim Colyer Band is a free-wheeling, ever-changing thing. Members come and go. The one constant is my catalog of songs. I do some of the lead vocals but employ females as I write lots of girl songs.
Story behind the song
I was flipping out over a girl young enough to be my daughter. Half Crazy came natural. "Hoping the guy in the passing lane doesn't see me cry" may be the best line.
Lyrics
HALF CRAZY HALF THE TIME
Sitting here thinking how good it was when I met you
Now all of my friends are saying I've got to forget you
If they were friends, wouldn't they be on my side
I feel so alone, Half Crazy Half The Time
Half Crazy Half The Time
Hanging on the telephone line
Talking to myself, trying to pray
Writing letters I throw away
Half Crazy Half The Time
Stark raving outta my mind
Climbing the walls, pacing the floor
Storming out the door
Driving down a lonely road, I've got these tears in my eyes
Hoping the guy in the passing lane doesn't see me cry
Better get a grip on myself cos I don't wanna have a wreck
Since I can't see you no more, baby, I've been a nervous wreck
Half Crazy Half The Time
Hanging on the telephone line
Talking to myself, trying to pray
Writing letters I throw away
Half Crazy Half The Time
Stark raving outta my mind
Climbing the walls, pacing the floor
Storming out the door
Gotta find my way back to you
If it's the last thing I ever do
Gotta find a way to make you see
You need me
solo
Half Crazy Half The Time
Hanging on the telephone line
Talking to myself, trying to pray
Writing letters I throw away
Half Crazy Half The Time
Stark raving outta my mind
Climbing the walls, pacing the floor
Storming out the door
Half Crazy Half The Time
Stark raving outta my mind
Climbing the walls, pacing the floor
Storming out the door
