Cracked Up Songtext
von Trout Fishing in America

Cracked up – really laughing
In the middle of the saddest part.
Racked up – I ain′t lyin'
But I ain′t about to fall apart

Nothin' funny about washing dishes,
Nothin' funny till you break one.
Nothin′ funny about hammerin′ nails,
Nothin' funny till you hit your thumb.
Nothin′ funny about mowin' the lawn
Till you cut off one of your toes.
My life′s been funny lately, I'm about to split my sides.
My life′s been funny lately, gotta laugh to keep from cryin.

Cracked up – really laughing
In the middle of the saddest part.
Racked up – I ain't lyin'
But I ain′t about to fall apart


Nothin′ funny about ironing clothes,
Nothin' funny till you burn your shirt.
Nothin′ funny about the way it goes,
Nothin' funny till it starts to hurt.
Nothin′ funny about driving a car
Till the car runs out of gas.
My life's been funny lately, but it′s not boring me to death
My life's been funny lately, I need a chance to catch my breath.

Cracked up – really laughing
In the middle of the saddest part.
Racked up – I ain't lyin′
But I ain′t about to fall apart

I know a man who's got no problems.
He asks no questions,
That′s 'cause he knows all the answers.
This same man has many friends, makes lots of money,
Nothing ever goes wrong,
But he never really laughs.

Cracked up, cracked up.
I′m cracked up, really cracked up.
Hey I'm cracked up, I′ve been cracked up.
Yeah I'm cracked up, really cracked up.


Nothin' funny about a big parade,
Nothin′ funny till it starts to rain.
Nothin′ funny about a broken wing,
Nothin' funny till it′s on your plane.
Nothin' funny about falling in love
Till your love flies out the door.
My life′s been funny lately, I'm about to split my sides.
My life′s been funny lately, gotta laugh to keep from crying.

Cracked up – really laughing
In the middle of the saddest part.
Racked up – I ain't lyin'
But I ain′t about to fall apart

I′ve been cracked up, I've been cracked up.
I′m cracked up, really cracked up.
Hey I'm cracked up, I′ve been cracked up.
