So we stood there and talked on the corner
And remembered the good times we had
Then he asked if we're happy together
And I only smiled and I said
[Chorus:]
Yes she keeps me off the streets
And she keeps me out of trouble
Sometimes at night Lord when I hear the wind
I wish I was crazy again yes I wish I was crazy again
Then we stopped in at a tavern we had us around or two
We called ourselves old desperados
Old desperados as old friends are likely to do
We sat for a while and remembered then he said let's have just one more
I said I'd sure like to join you but best be going on home
[Chorus]
