[Intro] [rhythmic acoustic guitar strumming with percussive body hits at 120 BPM] [Verse 1] That officer he turned to me as they hauled my car away He said son you dumb? or crazy? or just a little bit too brave? He said you took that turn at a hundred to none and you wound up in the ditch I said a hundred to none would have been just fun I was doing about a hundred and six [Chorus] I may be brave and crazy but that's alright I know 'Cause I've got to take my chances now before my chance is blown 'Cause you don't get nowhere wondering 'bout what's over there, being scared you might fall down And I'd rather die brave and crazy than just to live life safe and sound [Verse 2] I've always been kind of hell on wheels and I guess I must confess I probably should be more careful or at least a little less careless But I'm convinced that life is meant to be lived until you die We're put here for experience not just here to survive [Chorus] I may be brave and crazy but that's alright I know 'Cause I've got to take my chances now before my chance is blown 'Cause you don't get nowhere wondering 'bout what's over there, being scared you might fall down And I'd rather die brave and crazy than just to end up safe and sound [Bridge] We've all got our limits well I understand But you've got to push them now and then if you want them to expand Now I'm not talking death-defying suicidal stunts But you'll never score a touchdown, Lord, if every time you touch the ball you punt [Chorus] And I may be brave and crazy but that's alright I know 'Cause I've got to take my chances now before my chance is blown 'Cause you don't get nowhere wondering 'bout what's over there, being scared you might fall down And I'd rather be brave and crazy Yea, I'd rather die brave and crazy than just to live my life safe and sound [Outro] [guitar strumming fades to a final chord]
