I've Always Been Crazy, 1978
Written by Waylon Jennings
A defiant cri de coeur. "I've always been different with one foot over the line / Winding up somewhere one step ahead or behind." Sounds like an anthem of outlaw country, but apparently he was pretty sick of the label at the time he wrote this. I like the sudden smoothness in his voice at the third verse, where he addresses a "beautiful lady," before going back to his typical smoky drawl. The vaguely Latin-tinged horns at the end help spice up the extended fade-out.
