[Verse 1]
Woke up this mornin' with the sundown shinin' in,
found my mind in a brown paper bag again;
  tripped on a cloud and fell eight miles high,
tore my mind on a jagged sky
and, Lord, I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in.
Lord, Lord, Lord, what condition my condition was in.
 
[Verse 2]
I pushed my soul in a deep dark hole and I followed it in,
had myself crawlin' out   as I was crawlin' in;
woke up so tight, Lord, I couldn't unwind
I saw so much that it blew my mind.
So, I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in.
 
Lord, I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in.
Lord, Lord, Lord, what condition my condition was in.
 
[Verse 3]
Somebody painted "April fool" in big black letters on a dead end sign,
I had my foot on the gas and when I left the road it blew out my mind.
Eight miles out of Memphis, Lord, I got no spare,
eight miles straight up, downtown somewhere,
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in.
Lord, Lord, Lord, what condition my condition was in.
Lord, Lord, Lord, what condition my condition was in.
