Story Behind The Song
The chorus started out as a bad joke between Brett & I. One of Brett's heroes is Italian porn star Rocco Siffredi & for years, we would always quote his most "famous" lines (don't ask), two of those being "Baby you drive me crazy" & "You know what I like,

I've always toyed with the idea of live drums on previous albums, but never pulled the trigger until now - and seeing as how straightforward rock this track was, it was a natural fit. When you work with talented musicians, you just tell them what you hear

Lyrics
BABY YOU DRIVE ME CRAZY
She's a superstar
Wonder Woman, and you wonder how you got this far
I don't care if you're standard fare to them
A peach is only ripe until you pick it off the vine
You're doing fine
You're doing time
And when we're free
You'll finally see that
Baby you drive me crazy
You know what I like
So run away with me
And everything will be alright
I'm weak
They're blowing smoke in my face
I need you here if I'm to finish this race
I feel so out of place
This isn't me anymore
I'm not as sure of anything, I'm not as strong as before
I'm giving in
You finally win
Now I'm your man
And I hope I found a woman who will finally understand that
Baby you drive me crazy
You know what I like
So run away with me
Before they lock me up tonight
We'll drive to Mexico, the wind at our backs
The sun is shining, Johnny Cash is on the 8-track
I'm driving, I'm singing
With your head on my lap
I stroke your hair, and who cares where we're going?
This love just can't stop growing
