Mickey Newbury - Just Dropped In lyrics

rate me

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.

Ah, ah, ah-ha.

Somebody painted "April Fool,"

In big black letters on a Dead End sign.

I had my foot in 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.
