Lyrics

[Intro]
Ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah
[Instrumental]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Well, well, well, well
[Verse 1]
Stick it in your ear 'cause it ain't exactly clear
What you people hear
I tell you that's right, oh yeah
Sucker in the middle blowing hot and cold
Cracking his whip
On the American horse
[Chorus]
He's gone crazy, completely crazy
Trying to tame the American horse, well
He's gone crazy, completely crazy
Trying to tame the American horse, well
[Verse 2]
Feather in his mane, showing no fear
Of a twisted shady fool
I tell you that's right, aha, that's right
Truth's a-mighty clear, forever on and on
Never break the spirit
Of the American horse, well
Don't you shoot him down
[Chorus]
He's gone crazy, completely crazy
Trying to tame the American horse
He's gone crazy, completely crazy
Trying to tame the American horse, yeah
He's gone crazy, completely crazy
Trying to tame the American horse
He's gone crazy, completely crazy
Trying to tame the American horse, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Instrumental]
Crazy
On the day they tried to tame the American horse, yeah
Crazy
On the day they tried to tame the American horse, ow
[Verse 3]
Riding on a pony
Riding against the wind
And in came Brando
And he told it like this
[Instrumental]
Crazy, crazy, crazy, mama
