[Verse 1]
Well now, I fell in love with a workin' girl
Lord, she sure was sweet
Met her down in a red-light tavern
Workin' on Bourbon Street
Way down in them Old French Quarters
Bright light side of town
Yeah, this daytime life is sure gettin' cozy
Livin' with the shades pulled down

[Chorus]
Well now, livin' with the shades pulled down all day
Lovin' while the world goes 'round
Nobody knows what all we're doin'
Livin' with the shades pulled down

[Verse 2]
Well now, some might get the wrong idea
'Bout the kind of man I am
But I'm bringin' home my half of the bacon
Pickin' in a guitar band
Yeah, love is all my workin' girl brings me
Comin' in off that town
And this daytime life is sure gettin' cozy
Livin' with the shades pulled down
[Chorus]
Well now, livin' with the shades pulled down all day
Lovin' while the world goes 'round
Nobody knows what all we're doin'
Livin' with the shades pulled down

[Chorus]
Well now, livin' with the shades pulled down all day
Lovin' while the world goes 'round
Nobody knows what all we're doin'
Livin' with the shades pulled down
Livin' with the shades pulled down
Livin' with the shades pulled down
