Story Behind The Song
I saw this documentary "Elvis and June" about Elvis Presley in the summer of '56 just as he was about to break big. That summer Elvis met this small town girl, June Juanico. They fell in love, and she became his fiancée. Then the music changed his life and Elvis was forced to end his relationship with the beautiful small town girl. The story inspired me to write this song using Elvis and June as a metaphor for the roads we take and that inevitable 'what might have been' if we traveled a different route. Life should not be about regrets but about reflection.

Lyrics
VERSE
For one precious moment
In 1956
You were my world
Before it came down to this
They called for Elvis
You called for me
I was caught in a shifting sea
PRE-CHORUS
For one restless summer, when you stole my heart
For one precious moment, before they tore me apart
And now I?m
CHORUS
I'm Still Crazy
I?m Still Crazy
I'm Still Crazy
In love with you
VERSE
For one precious moment
Before they all came 'round
For one stolen breath
before they heard that sound
Was it all worth
The price on my head
Was it all worth
My life in the end
PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS
TAG
Crazy, in love, with you
