This melodic number by J.J. Cale is a heartfelt lament of longing and yearning. The protagonist appears to be in search of a woman he refers to as 'Crazy Mama', who has been absent for an extended period. The term 'Crazy Mama' could signify a lover, or perhaps even a maternal figure, whose absence has left a void in his life. His desperation is evident as he stands on the corner, hoping to see her return. It's an exploration of loss and longing, with the singer expressing his deep need for this elusive woman's presence in his life again. The song effectively captures the universal human experience of missing someone profoundly and wishing for their return.
