(yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in)
I woke up one 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
--instrumental break--
(yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in)
Someone painted "april foo" 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 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-yeah
