[Verse 1]
Some days I feel like my shadow's casting me
Some days the sun don't shine
Sometimes I wonder what tomorrow's gonna bring
When I think about my dirty life and times
One day I came to a fork in the road
Folks, I just couldn't go where I was told
Now they'll hunt me down and hang me for my crimes
If I tell about my dirty life and times

[Verse 2]
I had someone 'til she went out for a stroll
Should have run after her
It's hard to find a girl with a heart of gold
When you're living in a four-letter world
And if she won't love me then her sister will
She's from say-one-thing-and-mean-another's-ville
And she can't seem to make up her mind (Make up her mind)
When she hears about my dirty life and times
Ooh

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Some days I feel like my shadow's casting me
Some days the sun don't shine (Don't shine)
Sometimes I wonder why I'm still running free
All up and down the line
Gets a little lonely, folks, you know what I mean
I'm looking for a woman with low self-esteem
To lay me out and ease my worried mind
While I'm winding down my dirty life and times
[Outro]
Who'll lay me out and ease my worried mind
While I'm winding down my dirty life and times
