take a leave from crazy..acoustic demo

This song isn't about any political statement. Like the red haired instant star dude, I am sad about what's trending in our country. thumbs up, down, or in-between, it's all good and thanks for the listen.

Take a leave from crazy G Bm C G

I chucked out that ole tv… there was nuthin there for me
All those crazy loonies.. wreckin my kun..ter..eee
East coast west coast weirdo’s…the thinkin’s all the same..
Good on all those…little towns… where folks are not insane

Take a leave from crazy ….take a leave and flee G D C
Take a leave from crazy…cuz….cities ain’t no place to be

My dog and I went for a walk.. the park the same ole place
Came upon a guy… talkin to himself ….seemed like a real nut case
Hey mister can you help me find.. a place where I’d feel safe
He then pointed.. to the sky.. said maybe.. outer space

Before my dog and I depart.. we’ll take time to reflect
That shotgun pointed at my nose.. off the road we wrecked
Took my catalitic converter with a sawzall and a jack
Forgot my fancy chromed out wheels, but then they did come back

Reminds me of a Stones song, just can't remember the name of the track now :oops:

maybe "Shine a Light" or "Sweat Virginia" or something like that :roll:


Hey crash. I graduated from hs in 1966 and thought I had all the stones song, but alas...

Of the hundreds of songs I have done, this is only the second one I have ripped off the chords and melody line notes.
I kept singing their song so I thought what the heck.

The song was created in 1968 by the band Big Pink called "the weight". I really liked their crazy lyrics. You can youtube it and there is a great colab from folks all over the world jumping in. Great production. thanks for listening and peace to youi

Just looked this up. This is the first verse of the wieght:

I pulled into Nazareth, was feelin' about half past dead
I just need some place where I can lay my head
"Hey, mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?"
He just grinned and shook my hand, "No" was all he said
