Dirty Life & Times

written by Warren Zevon 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 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 When she hears about my dirty life and times Some days I feel like my shadow's casting me Some days the sun 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 Who'll lay me out and ease my worried mind While I'm winding down my dirty life and times
