Crazy People
Reckless Nights & Memories: Unraveling Family Secrets
Lyrics
Daddy rolling through a four-way
Daddy driving through an intersection with four roads
Momma singing to a hymnal
Momma singing religious songs from a book of hymns
Wood paneled family car my nose up against the window
In a car with wooden panels, pressing my nose against the window
Flashing cold beer sign, people all around
Seeing a sign advertising cold beer, surrounded by people
Mom said don't pay them no mind, that ain't our kind of crowd
Mom advises to ignore them because they're not our type of people
Needing saving, late night chasing (longneck drinking)
Feeling the need for salvation, engaging in late-night activities like drinking from longneck bottles
Wrong side of the tracks
Being in the less favorable or rougher area of town
Lost inhibitions, strangers kissing, smoking out the back
Having lost inhibitions, witnessing strangers kissing, and smoking at the back of a place
Back seat loving, fighting, cussing, music way too loud
Experiencing love, fights, swearing, and loud music in the backseat of a car
Bunch of heart breaking, money wasting
Being part of a group that breaks hearts, wastes money, raises hell, and consists of eccentric individuals
Hell raising, crazy people
Describing a collection of wild, unconventional individuals engaging in questionable behavior
I found an old shoebox, I wasn't supposed to find
Discovering an old shoebox not meant to be found
Had written in a sharpie, Daytona 79
Finding a note mentioning Daytona '79 written with a marker
Saw momma in a two-piece hanging on a lifeguard stand
Seeing a memory of Mom in a two-piece swimsuit on a lifeguard stand
Daddy had a beer in his right and something lit in his left hand
Observing Dad holding a beer and something lit in his hands
They never talk about, the way they were way back then
They avoid discussing their past behavior and experiences
But damn I should have known, that they were some of them
Realizing that their parents were once part of a similar group
CHORUS
Refrain or repeated section of the song
We've all been there before
Expressing that everyone has been in similar situations before
Felt that good time kicking in
Feeling the enjoyment of good times starting
Before this night is over
Anticipating that by the end of the night, they might become part of a similar group or engage in similar behaviors
We all might be some of them
Suggesting that by the end of the night, everyone could become part of the mentioned group
CHORUS
Refrain or repeated section of the song
