Crazy As Me
Alison Krauss & Union Station Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm used to being alone.
Except for six month playings without rings and phone bills that I've waited for.
This is the life that I choose.
I got no complaints if he is;
If he ain't, I guess he'll send me a rose.

Just don't ask me for the truth if you choose to lie honey.
And don't try to open my door with your skeleton key.
Some folks seem to think I only got one problem.
I can't find nobody as crazy as me.

I still love what I know.
I love to ride alone and sing a song and listen to the radio.
You can ride alone and if you change your mind, well, that's just fine,
But there is somethin' that you got to know.

Just don't ask me for the for the truth if you choose to lie honey.
And don't try to open my door with your skeleton key.
Some folks seem to think I only got one problem.
I can't find nobody as crazy as me.

Just don't ask me for the for the truth if you choose to lie honey.
And don't try to open my door with your skeleton key.





Some folks seem to think I only got one problem.
I can't find nobody as crazy as me.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Crazy As Me" by Alison Krauss & Union Station expresses the idea of being content with one's own company and the choices they make in life. The singer emphasizes that she is used to being alone and has no complaints about it. She enjoys simple things like riding alone and singing a song. However, she wants people to understand that just because she is comfortable being by herself doesn't mean that she is unhappy or lonely. The singer also warns against people who are dishonest or try to force their way into her life, using the metaphor of a skeleton key to represent unwelcome intrusion.


Overall, the song seems to be about accepting and being at peace with oneself, even if that means being a little "crazy" in the eyes of others. The lyrics convey the idea that it's better to be true to oneself than to try and conform to the expectations of others. The singer values her independence and is not looking for someone to complete her, which is a refreshing message in a culture that often romanticizes the idea of finding one's "other half."
