Between me and that cold water
She was the best thing I had goin'
I'll pick crazy every time
Call me crazy but when the choice was mine
I'll pick crazy every time
But no one could treat me better
I'd pick crazy every time
But ask me what I’d change and I’ll say there's one thing
Better safe than sorry
And all I had to do was walk that line
Between me and that cold water
To this day I still regret
I don't look for hidden meaning
I laughed and yelled, “Hey, Billy”
But don't ask me, I don't know why
Bootleggin', I like my livin' on edge
Born with a rebel state of mind
I bet there was fifty feet of air
Yeah, that's what Billy always said
I don't really care if it don't rhyme
Better safe than sorry
I'll pick crazy every time
Love me like she did
I disregard all reason
Between drag racin', cane raisin', girl chasin'
I disregard all reason
But I’ll pick crazy every time
Mama thought she taught me
But I guess I’ve always been the other kind
You're gonna miss all the fun
Born with a rebel state of mind
But me, I wasn't scared
When I jumped, that bridge was shakin'
Mama thought she taught me
I don't look for hidden meaning
But I guess I’ve always been the other kind
I don't really care if it don't rhyme
