\"Head<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

J<\/span>ust about every time I ever sang this song in front of people I know, someone has laughed out loud at the line, “I work all day and I sweat in the sun”…<\/p>\n

Fair enough. The song is certainly not autobiographical.<\/p>\n

And there’s certainly more than a little whimsy.<\/p>\n

But, you know… there’s just a little bit of truth in it. Maybe it does<\/span> take a real man to tell his girl no.<\/p>\n

Heh.<\/p>\n

[Warning: there are some technical difficulties with this recording… but the performance was so breathtaking… no, that’s a lie. It’s a typical slapdash performance. It was just that the clock was ticking and I needed to get this up and get on with life.]<\/p>\n\n

Head Full of Crazy, Heart Full of Fire<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

When I see you
\nand I look in your eyes
\nI get a head full of crazy
\nand a heart full of fire
\nbut I cant talk about it
\nand I cant act on it
\nand I couldnt really stop it
\neven if I wanted
\nI’m tellin you so that you understand
\nthat’s what it’s like to be a man<\/p>\n

I work all day and
\nI sweat in the sun
\nI’ll work all by life
\nand I’ll die when it’s done
\nbut if I had you
\nto sleep by my side
\nif I had you
\nto be my bride
\nif I had you
\nI’d be glad to be a man<\/p>\n

Now I know that you
\nwould really like to stay
\nbut I have responsiblities
\nthat must come into play
\nI must think of what’s right
\n— what’s right for you
\nWhen his girl loses her head
\n— a man’s gotta think for two
\nbut that’s what it’s like
\nthat’s what its like to be a man<\/p>\n
