Merle Haggard - Living With the Shades Pulled Down Lyrics

I fell in love with a working girl, 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's, bright-light 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, right and tidy

Some might get the wrong idea 'bout the kind of man I am
But I bring home my half of that bacon pickin' in a 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, and here's that horn man!

Guitar!

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
