Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Is In) Lyrics
Kenny Rogers
Lyrics
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
