Amos Lee - Crooked Lyrics






Walked a crooked road for a crooked mile
Showed my crooked teeth and my crooked smile
I read a cuckoo clock on a crooked wall
Turns out it's all crooked, y'all

And I don't know what I'm supposed to do
Turns out that I'm crooked too

I read a crooked headline on a crooked page
There's a crooked leader on a crooked stage
But he seems to think he's standin' tall
Turns out it's all crooked, y'all

And I don't know what I'm supposed to do
Turns out that I'm crooked too

So when you stand before that setting sun
And the needle's broken and the record's spun
You hear a stampede from a cattle call
Turns out it's all crooked, y'all
Oh, it turns out it's all crooked, y'all

  28. V.... N....

    Yes! This song has a similar feel to the song 'Violin', I really like the vibe it gives.

  29. w.... ....

    Amos has left his roots it seems? This is one of the better songs of his last album that I've heard and it's not like what he used to put out? Sorry, but I'm just being honest.

  30. A.... h....

    Dope song!!! ☺🌈☺🌈☺☺

    tops! my favorite of the whole new album.

  32. P.... H....

    P.... H....

    This was a nice post

  33. K.... H....

    Took me so long to find this song. Caught it on our local member supported radio station. Glad I found it.

  34. C.... J....

    ♥️!!

  35. A.... M....

    words can't express how much I love this song. especially in love with the wonderful little instrumental bit in the middle.

  36. W.... I....

    ♥️♥️♥️

  37. C.... P....

    I’ve been a huge fan sense the release of his first album. He has helped shape who I am there’s no doubt about it. To continually write music that is original and meaningful like he does is something amazing. I would love to meet him someday and thank him for helping me through some of the hardest periods of my life. I don’t know how it would of went without his music to keep me grounded soulfully.

  38. u.... ....

    Ppl. Turn to Jesus. He perfects u and makes you less crooked. Everyday. U can't do it by yourself.

  39. u.... ....

    Ur not crooked Amos. In terms of your musical talent n originality, ur as damn perfect as an artist can get. !! #werd

  40. C.... P....

    I WILL see this man in concert before I die.

    C.... P....

    The Purple Platypus Podcast I saw him in 08 and it was absolutely amazing! I am hoping to see him again as an adult as I was only 18 in 08. I still greatly enjoyed the show of course! I’ve been a huge fan since his first album and continue to get giddy when a new album drops. I highly recommend that you see him if you get the chance!

    C.... P....

    I have. Deliriously amazing performer.

  41. C.... P....

    Me too A... glad God has mercy for us all

  42. D.... B....

    Pleased to see you back on the radar Amos. Your songwriting has got me thru some tough times indeed, play on brother.

    D.... B....

    And he's back again thanks to Raising my namesake

  43. J.... H....

    Come to Chicago

  44. K.... S....

    Amos Lee always soothes my soul. This song is no exception

  45. P.... B....

    Rather timely, right? Lots of crooked stuff going on! Ha ha!

    It reminds me of Dylan's "Everything is Broken", although Dylan's song is humorous in tone (and I remember being so disappointed at that; I had hoped it would be a lament) and this one more plaintive. Amos Lee is really getting my attention recently.

  46. E.... S....

    No one person is more crooked than AMANDA KEMPH REMEMBER GOD IS watching someday someway some how. It's all about timing!!!!!!!! Blessings to us all! X

  47. k.... c....

    Really chill music 🎵......like it 👍

  48. A.... M....

    Oh yes...

  49. N.... T....

    Im a brand new fan and I think your music and your voice is wonderful, but,please stay out of politics, music is the only true escape that we have,please don't make it crooked more...thx..peace✌

    N.... T....

    Nah. Amos can sing about anything he wants to. It's called Freedom.!! And we need more aware, intelligent, even "political" music. We got more than enuff mindless, empty, soulless musical crap out here already. We need less shit and more intelligence. Could even improve things, improve society. Wake up some of the unaware, brain dead escapist masses. Hey. Gotta start somewhere........

    N.... T....

    Less empty stupid musical shit and more intelligence n awareness/outspokenness in music. To me, A good thing.....

    N.... T....

    Nah...grew up listening to all the fake political crap starting with,for me,the fake Vietnam war on the fake news every day...it's all an illusion and a lie...why corrupt the music for a fake political agenda?..we are trying to awaken to something bigger and more beautiful than what we are now.

    N.... T....

    Number one. This ain't a political song. Barely. He's just saying how nothing is pure anymore. Everything's corrupt in one way or another. If u want real intelligent outspoken direct political music, listen to Billy Bragg. Ballsy n truthful. But u hate po!itical music , so skip Billy Bragg. hes as leftist as one can get. N i dig him very much.

    N.... T....

    I hear you and feel that sentiment, and I'm not looking for politics in "my" music, either....but, having said that, Mr. Amos Lee is free to write/compose/sing about whatever the hell he wants to. That's the beauty of the 1A (First Amendment) and we have the right to tune in, or to tune out anything we choose to! So, while I'm not looking for, or really digging, politics in song...I say rock on Mr. Lee! Either way, I've loved Amos Lee and his music for a long time now, and his politics won't change that. Our right to free speech is our greatest right (in my opinion) and we can never let them take away that right, as it is the bedrock to our beautiful nation and the foundation to a free, liberal, democratic society!! We can never take for granted our freedom of speech! And, since we are talking about politics to some degree, I must add #DrainTheSwamp #MAGA #WalkAway Also, no matter what side of the aisle you are on or where you fall on the political spectrum, I just want to say I've got nothing but peace and love for you, brothers and sisters!!! ✌🏿️❤️👍🤗🇺🇸

  50. R.... M....

    In my Spotify list for a couple of weeks now. Love it. Thanks for also sharing it here.

  51. A.... V....

    Love it ! From France!

  52. C.... Q....

    Now I wonder what else is crooked.

  53. B.... S....

    Being the best tambourine player in the world, and in the top ten best harmonica players in the nation, I just can't screw around online anymore to find good music to practice to.It's become a cheap dirty turn off. Instead of technological progress, this stuff just makes me feel like a trashy loser. Too many idiots spouting off their IQ numbers and their lack of comprehension for how they were born. Plus, not paying for music is putting bad mojo out to the artistic community. Not giving back to my muse that keeps me playing just feels trashy. It's most likely why artists have continued to suffer, mushy tomatoes and rotten apples thrown at them up on stage. Living in the mud, they had to sing for their supper. It's because we don't respect the muse. This online" find your music" game has made me equal with stalkers rummaging through trash, and peeping toms -peering through door cracks and whispering through windows. The world of paid posters and online viruses is just creepy. I can't "handle" it. - get it. I can't handle it so they say. So if the rest of you don't mind, I'll find music the old fashioned way, showing up uninvited to shows and I'll buy it if I like it. Music shouldn't be free.

    B.... S....

    Marcie, I appreciate the enthusiasm, but here's what I'm talking about. Adam Thuman is an old, slow stalker. He self soothes himself that no one knows that the squares at the end of his post, (where emoljis are supposed to go), show his age and IQ. I have too many fans like him of all ages. Somehow they keep reproducing. They think they're hackers and sleuths, but they are just voyeurs the devil uses. I know, because I'm his right hand woman. They're having demonic possessed babies in his name and sacrificing them now, dropping them off at the pool. That's the online music game. It's a get yourself demonically possessed show.

    B.... S....

    Did I stutter? You vegetable brained, over the hill, horse-manure-off-the-street eating, rotten seed. You're what George Bush was pointing at when he was preaching family values. Voyeurs have a contingent in the Pride Parades too.

    B.... S....

    @Adam of course, Marce.

    B.... S....

    @Burnadette Spencer When and where is your next tambourine concert? I would love to come see the greatest tambourine player in the world.

  54. N.... F....

    Que talento! ❤

  55. J.... T....

    Man, I love your voice Amos! ❤️

  56. J.... M....

    chill music! i hope i'll be able to make things like this someday :)

    J.... M....

    Are you starting to write songs?

    J.... M....

    yes i have been writing things for about 2 years now, there is some original content on my channel:)

    J.... M....

    Good for you, I will check out your channel. I'm a musician in a band myself, best wishes to you with your writing.

    J.... M....

    thankyou!

  57. T.... ....

    I’ve replayed this🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎵 so many times since it was made available.....👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

  58. R.... S....

    Amos Lee's "Crooked," has an Alternative/Rock/Folk sound. Also, in some elements of this song, it has a little Tom Petty and Lenny Kravitz vibes.

    R.... S....

    Amos is waaaaay better than Lenny Kravitz. Lenny sux. Pure stupid empty headed pop music.

  59. L.... ....

    Some of his songs recently have included tones of hip hop and rap. Not a fan of that. This reminds me of his earlier songs. LOVE it 💜🎶

    L.... ....

    Yes!!! Same here!!! Glad I'm not the only one that noticed that!!

  60. 1.... ....

    Thank you Amos.

  61. N.... G....

    Another great tune, Amos! You are knocking it out of the park yet again. I can't wait for the new album.

  62. 1.... ....

    Maybe crooked sure, but I've sure been bent.

  63. D.... R....

    I listened to this a half dozen times last night on my crooked flight to Chicago. Decided I’m crooked as well.

    D.... R....

    Also listen to Chicago by Lavoy :)

    D.... R....

    Aren't we all....lol just most of us wont admit it.

  64. J.... T....

    Oh yeah 🎶🔊 Amos, you always ease the mind...
