sundown shining in
Woke up this mornin'
The sundown shinin' in
I found my broken mind
In a brown paper bag of Zen.
Tripped on a cloud,
I fell eight miles high.
Tore my mind upon a jagged sky.
I just dropped in
to see what condition
my condition
was in.
Ah, ah.
Pushed my soul in a
deep dark hole, followed it in.
Met myself crawlin' out,
As I was crawlin' in.
I woke up so tight I said
"I never will unwind."
Saw too much,
I broke my mind.
I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in.
Woh, Lord, Lord,
What condition my condition was in.
[Whistling chorus.]
Ah, ah, ah-ha.
Somebody painted "April Fool,"
In big black letters on a Dead End sign.
I had my foot on the gas
As I left the road and blew out my mind.
Eight miles outta Memphis,
Lord, I got no spare.
Eight miles straight up.
Downtown somewhere.
I
just
dropped
in
to
see
what
condition
my
condition
was
in.
Oh, Lord, Lord, Lawd,
What condition my condition was in....[Humming...]
