Welcome to This World - Steve Wariner

The telephone rings I grab all my things

And I take off down the street

The old man on the corner must have started kind of early

Tryin to rake up something to eat.

I toss him a dollar cut across to the market

Ain’t got a lot of time to waste

There’s two men yelling at each other at the counter

Getting up in one another’s face.

Welcome to this world

This crazy, crazy world,

Welcome to this world

My crazy, crazy world.

My brother-in-law told me that the baby came early

And everybody’s doin' just fine

The elevator door it opens third floor

So many relatives of mine

I walked up to the window it took me just a minute

To find the last name there

That tiny little angel she can’t hear me

But still I gotta say to her.

Welcome to this world

This crazy, crazy world,

Welcome to this world

My crazy, crazy world.

Heading home in the night I swear in my sight

Is a man on roller skates

He’s got a llama on a leash crossin' the street

Man only 'round this place

I see up ahead lights flashing red

Another threat streets closed here

But freedom rules and you know we refuse

To live our lives in fear.

Welcome to this world

This crazy, crazy world,

Welcome to this world

My crazy, crazy world…
