2019 CMA AWARDS SONG OF THE YEAR NOMINEES
Award goes to Songwriters
“Beautiful Crazy”
Songwriters: Luke Combs, Wyatt B. Durrette III, Robert Williford
Her day starts with a coffee and ends with a wine
Takes forever to get ready so she’s never on time for anything
When she gets that come get me look in her eyes
Well it kinda scares me the way that she drives me wild
When she drives me wild
Beautiful, crazy, she can’t help but amaze me
The way that she dances, ain’t afraid to take chances
And wears her heart on her sleeve
Yeah, she’s crazy but her crazy’s beautiful to me
She makes plans for the weekend, can’t wait to go out
‘Til she changes her mind, says, “let’s stay on the couch and watch TV”
And she falls asleep
Beautiful, crazy, she can’t help but amaze me
The way that she dances, ain’t afraid to take chances
And wears her heart on her sleeve
Yeah, she’s crazy but her crazy’s beautiful to me
She’s unpredictable, unforgettable
It’s unusual, unbelievable
How I’m such a fool, yeah I’m such a fool for her
Beautiful, crazy, she can’t help but amaze me
The way that she dances, ain’t afraid to take chances
And wears her heart on her sleeve
Yeah, she’s crazy, she’s crazy, she’s crazy
But her crazy’s beautiful to me
Her crazy’s beautiful to me

The first CMA Awards Banquet and Show was held in 1967. The following year, the CMA Awards was broadcast on NBC Television for the first time – making it the longest running, annual music awards program on network television.
