A#       F7              A#
I met an old friend this morning
       D#              F7            A#
And I stopped him and called him by name
F7
I said the years haven't changed you
                                   A#
But he said good Lord how you've changed

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:
          A#      F          A#
Yes, she keeps me off the streets
         D#       F7      A#
And she keeps me out of trouble
D#            F7             A#          D#
Sometimes at night Lord when I hear the wind
   A#         F7     A#
I wish I was crazy again,
 D#    A#          F7    A#
yes I wish I was crazy again

Then we stopped in at a tavern,
We had us a round 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
