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
