Living With The Shades Pulled Down Lyrics - Merle Haggard

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
