Crow is the second studio album by
American singer and songwriter Sheryl Crow,
released on September 24, 1996, by A&M Records. Unlike
its predecessor Tuesday Night Music Club, which was
written by a casual collective formed by Crow and several other
musicians, Sheryl Crow was entirely produced by Crow, who wrote most
of the songs alone or with only one collaborator. Most of the album was
recorded at Kingsway Studios in New Orleans,
Louisiana. The album covers topics of American life, relationship breakups, and
moral and ethical issues, while encompassing a variety of music genres such
as rock, blues, alternative
rock, country, and folk.
Sheryl Crow was a commercial
success, being certified triple platinum by both the RIAA and the BPI. It reached number six on the Billboard 200 and
produced five singles, including the international hit "If It Makes You Happy". The album
received very positive reviews from critics, who praised its intricate
production and Crow's louder and more assured singing. At the 39th Annual Grammy Awards, the album was
awarded Best Rock Album and
Crow received the Best Female
Rock Vocal.

I been long, a long way from here
Put on a poncho and played for mosquitoes
And drank 'til I was thirsty again
We went searchin', through thrift store jungles
Found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo
And Benny Goodman's corset and pen
Well, okay, I made this up
I promised you I'd never give up
If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad?
You get down, real low down
You listen to Coltrane, derail your own train
Well, who hasn't been there before?
I come 'round, around the hard way
Bring you comics in bed, scrape the mold off the bread
And serve you French toast again
Well, okay, I still get stoned
I'm not the kind of girl you'd take home
If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad?
If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad?
We've been far, far away from here
Put on a poncho and played for mosquitoes
And everywhere in between
Well, okay, we get along
So what if right now, everything's wrong?
If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad?
If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad?
