Shape I'm In

Go down yonder, peace in the valley

Come downtown, have a rumble in the alley

Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in

Has anybody seen my baby

This livin' alone will drive you crazy

Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in

I'm gonna go down to the river

But I ain't gonna jump in no no

I'll just be looking for my baby

And I hear that's where she's been, Oh

Out of nine lives, I've spent seven

Working it day by day trying to get to heaven

Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in

I've just spent sixty days in the jailhouse

For having the crime of having no dough

Here I am back out on the street

With the crime of having nowhere to go

Save your neck, save your brother

Looks like it's one or the other

Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in

Save your neck, save your brother

Looks like it's one or the other

Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in

Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in
