Dirty Life And Times Lyrics

Dirty Life And Times lyrics

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
