lyrics

They say I'm goin off the rails but I've already been and you can throw me right in jail I wont come out again. I've been this way for so long that I just cant pretend. They say I'm goin off the rails but I've already been.

Sometimes I'm as bright as a full moon light and other times I isn't.
I coulda heard /every word/ you said if I had listened. My head is full of beef and bull but i am as yeller as buckskin. They say I'm goin off the rails but I've already been.

I would have have it together but birds of my feather sing a different song. No coop or pen could hold me in I'm bound to move along. When the rooster crows then you know I dont fit in. They say I'm goin off the rails but I've already been.

You could be right, i just might belong in the loony bin, if its true let me through I aint waitin' to come in. Send me to my padded room so I can finally sleep in. They say I'm goin off the rails but I've already been
