Living With The Shades Pulled Down

(Merle Haggard)

I fell in love with a working girl oh Lord she sure was sweet

I met her down in the Red Light Tavern working on Bourbon Street

Way down in the old French quarter bright lights side of town

Daytime life sure is cozy living with the shades pulled down.

Living with the shades pulled down all day

Loving while the world goes around

Nobody knows what all we're doing

Living with the shades pulled down.

Some might get the wrong I did but the kind of man I am

But I bring home my half of that bacon pickin' in the guitar band

Love is all my working girl brings me comin' in off the town

Daytime life sure gets cozy living with the shades pulled down.

Living with the shades pulled down all day

Loving while the world goes around

Nobody knows what all we're doing

Living with the shades pulled down.

--- Instrumental ---

Living with the shades pulled down all day

Loving while the world goes around

Nobody knows what all we're doing

Living with the shades pulled down.

Living with the shades pulled down all day

Loving while the world goes around

Nobody knows what all we're doing

Living with the shades pulled down...
