My Kind Of Crazy
Brantley Gilbert Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
"Look baby I'm a rock star"
Grabs my old guitar
Playin' it upside down
Dancin' around
In front of our TV
I can't see the ballgame
Yeah, rock on baby
I'd rather watch you anyway
But when you're done
Can I come backstage
And get you to sign your name
On that Zeppelin shirt of mine you're wearin'
I'll never wash that thing again
Yeah but she's my kinda crazy
The little games she plays
Lord they'll never get old
She's too cute to get on my last nerve
The way she throws her little fits
Pokin' out her lip and bitin' mine when we kiss
There ain't a fight that she can't win
That's my baby
And she's my kinda crazy
You ought to see her in my pickup
She's gotta have that radio up
Bless her heart, she can't sit still
Head in my lap, bare feet on the windshield
Says, c'mon baby let me drive
Now honey it's a stick shift
Remember what you did last time
Oh
Yeah but she's my kinda crazy
The little games she plays
Lord they'll never get old
She's too cute to get on my last nerve
The way she throws her little fits
Pokin' out her lip and bitin' mine when we kiss
There ain't a fight that she can't win
That's my baby
And she's my kinda crazy
She never let's me rest
She keeps me up all night
Known to roll me off the bed
And steal the covers off my side
But I hear, "Wake up sleepy head"
And I open up my eyes
And it's all worth the while
Yeah but she's my kinda crazy
The little games she plays
Lord they'll never get old
She's too cute to get on my last nerve
The way she throws her little fits
Pokin' out her lip and bitin' mine when we kiss
There ain't a fight that she can't win
That's my baby
And she's my kinda crazy

Line by Line Meaning
She says
His girlfriend tells him something
"Look baby I'm a rock star"
She claims to be a rock star
Grabs my old guitar
She takes his guitar
Playin' it upside down
She plays the guitar in an unconventional way
Dancin' around
She dances while holding his guitar
In front of our TV
She dances in their living room
I can't see the ballgame
He is unable to watch his favorite sport
So I just wave my lighter and say
He opts to show his support for her performance
Yeah, rock on baby
He cheers her on
I'd rather watch you anyway
He prefers her over anything else
But when you're done
He waits for her performance to finish
Can I come backstage
He asks if he can go and meet her backstage
And get you to sign your name
He wants her autograph
On that Zeppelin shirt of mine you're wearin'
He wants her to sign his Led Zeppelin shirt
I'll never wash that thing again
He wants to keep her autograph on the shirt forever
Yeah but she's my kinda crazy
Despite her quirks, he still loves her
The little games she plays
He enjoys the silly things she does
Lord they'll never get old
The things she does never lose their charm
She's too cute to get on my last nerve
He finds her too adorable to annoy him
The way she throws her little fits
He finds her tantrums endearing
Pokin' out her lip and bitin' mine when we kiss
He finds her playful while they kiss
There ain't a fight that she can't win
She always wins their arguments
That's my baby
He affectionately calls her his baby
And she's my kinda crazy
He loves her craziness
You ought to see her in my pickup
He talks about his girlfriend riding in his truck
She's gotta have that radio up
She loves to listen to loud music in his truck
Bless her heart, she can't sit still
He finds it endearing how restless she is
Head in my lap, bare feet on the windshield
She rests her head on his lap and put her feet on the windshield
Says, c'mon baby let me drive
She asks him to let her drive the truck
Now honey it's a stick shift
He reminds her that his truck's transmission is a manual one
Remember what you did last time
He reminds her of how she struggled last time she drove the truck
Yeah but she's my kinda crazy
He repeats how much he loves her craziness
She never let's me rest
She always keeps him active
She keeps me up all night
She makes it impossible for him to sleep
Known to roll me off the bed
She accidentally (or purposely) makes him fall off the bed while sleeping
And steal the covers off my side
She takes his blanket while sleeping
But I hear, "Wake up sleepy head"
She wakes him up
And I open up my eyes
He wakes up
And it's all worth the while
He finds all the things she does worthwhile
