Lyrics

Go out yonder, peace in the valley:
Come down town, have a rumble in the alley
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in

Has anybody seen my lady
'Cause 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 lookin' for my baby
'Cause I hear that that's where she's been

Out of nine lives, I've spent seven
How in the world do I get to heaven?
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in
Aw, here it comes!

I just spent sixty days in the jailhouse
For the crime of havin' no dough, no
Now here I am, back on the streets
For the crime of havin' 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
No, no, no

Ooh, lord, uh huh, I think I'm goin' down by the river
But I ain't gonna jump in, no, no
I'll just be lookin' for my baby
'Cause I hear that that's where she's been

Out of nine lives, I've spent seven
How in the world do I get to heaven?
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in
Oh, I said: "oh, you don't know the shape I'm in."
