"We Weren't Crazy" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music artist Josh Gracin. It was released in October 2007 as the third single and title track from his album We Weren't Crazy. The song, which Gracin wrote with Bobby Pinson and Tony Lopacinski, is Gracin's fourth top ten hit on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts, with a peak of number ten, as well as his first top ten since "Stay With Me (Brass Bed)", which peaked at number five on October 22, 2005.
"We Weren't Crazy" is a moderate up-tempo in which the narrator describes his adult years: starting with a move to California with his lover, then raising children and having a family of his own. In the chorus, he states that he and she, though they may have been "living for the moment", "loving blind [and] borderline reckless", they "weren't crazy" for starting their family the way they did.
Critical reception
Jim Malec from The 9513 gave the song a thumbs-up rating. Although he said that the lyrics weren't "brilliant or groundbreaking", he added that Gracin's voice and "infectious chorus" made it a song that "does what it does well".[1] Thom Jurek of AllMusic cited the song as a standout on his review of the album as well.[2]
