ALEJANDRO ESCOVEDO
"Headstrong Crazy Fools"
(Alejandro Escovedo / Tony Visconti)

Sally flashed her panties in the alley
Hallelujah the walls came tumbling down
The mystery unfolding like a firework in the sky
Like a valentine from the other side

You see Dylan dropped acid in the limelight
Rode away on his Triumph one rainy night
Played chicken with a train
Turned out to be a one-act play
Dylan clearly lost the fight

In my darker days with my self-destructive ways
Diving in the pool
With the rest of all those headstrong crazy fools

Judy she was the queen of the jungle
Soap buzz when she made up on Friday night
Plastic flowers at her feet
But she needs to gain some speed
On Monday when her spirits are so low down

You know James fell in love with Bobby's mother
With a slogan tattooed above her butt
She played him like a burning fiddle
He was so in love but she was so in lust

In my darker days with my self-destructive ways
Diving in the pool
With the rest of all those headstrong crazy fools
