To see what condition my condition was in)

(mickey newbury)



(yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in)



I woke up this mornin' with the sundown shinin' in

I found my mind in a brown paper bag within

I tripped on a cloud and fell-a eight miles high

I tore my mind on a jagged sky

I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in



(yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in)



I pushed my soul in a deep dark hole and then i followed it in

I watched myself crawlin' out as i was a-crawlin' in

I got up so tight i couldn't unwind







I saw so much i broke my mind

I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in





(yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in)



Someone 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 and i got no spare

Eight miles straight up downtown somewhere

I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in



I said i just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in

Yeah yeah oh-yeah
