Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ain't nothing left for me to see
And sometimes I just wish that I could break down
And get on back to you and me
Take the next line and leave this crazy life
Get back home in time to kiss you goodnight
And oh-h-hh lately all I think about
Oh-h-hh baby, here I go again
Missin you crazy
Sitting here listening to your sweet voice
Talkin on the telephone
It's making me realize I ain't got no choice
Between staying here and gettin gone
I'm gonna say goodbye
Yeah, I'm gonna fly
Get these arms of mine back where they belong
And oh-h-hh lately all I think about
Oh-h-hh is what we could be doing now
Oh-h-hh baby, here I go again
Missin you crazy
And oh-h-hh lately all I think about
Oh-h-hh is what we could be doing now
Oh-h-hh baby, here I go again
Oh-h-hh baby, here I go again
Missin you crazy
Missin you crazy
The song “Missin’ You Crazy” by Jon Pardi is about a man who has been on the road for a long time and is longing to be back home with his loved one. The first verse talks about how he’s been traveling like a Greyhound on the highway and feeling like there’s nothing left for him to see. He wishes he could break down and go back home to be with his partner. He yearns for a life where he could leave behind his crazy life on the road and get back home in time to kiss his partner goodnight.
The second verse echoes the same sentiment as the first but this time it’s about being on the phone with his partner and realizing he has to make a choice between staying on the road or getting back home. He decides to fly back home and be reunited with his partner. The chorus talks about how he can't stop thinking about his partner and their life together. He repeats that he's missing her like crazy and wishes he could be with her now.
