I woke up this mornin' with the sundown shinin' in
I found my mind in a brown paper bag but then
I tripped on a cloud and fell there 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 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 to blew out my mind
Eight miles out of 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 yeeeaaah)
