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
