(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
[ instrumental ]
(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)

If wishes were horses then beggars would ride
On clouds of white stallions with bright fiery eyes
Chasing stars into corners of yesterday’s skies
If wishes were horses then beggars would ride
Ride through the gone days of playground of time
Where lives were a game and good fun was the prize
Where love was the buddies that lived down the street
And pain was no root beer or cookies to eat
If wishes were horses then beggars would ride...

The train is coming at 6:05
And I'll be gettin' on it to take a long ride
Back to an apartment so empty inside
Oh with loneliness the only friend that's waiting
I bought my ticket today I just paid for one way
The price was too high for returning
I have spent all my love getting none in return
I bought a ticket to nowhere today
And I still hear her voice as it rings in my brain
Telling me she's in love oh yes well really
That she's been hurt before that's what first love is for
But now she's found the kind of love that she's been needing
She's standing there so shy feeling nothing inside
Not seeing the pain my eyes are trying to hide
For her it was fun but it's all said and done
No love left in the silence of goodbye
And I still hear her voice as it rings in my brain...
I bought a ticket to nowhere today
I bought a ticket to nowhere today
I bought a ticket to nowhere today
I bought a ticket to nowhere today
I bought a ticket to nowhere today
