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.
