@24 TV Ed Sullivan Show - August 1968.
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.
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.
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.
