Living With the Shades Pulled Down

I fell in love with a working girl

Lord she sure was sweet

I met her down in a red-light tavern

Working on Bourbon Street

Way down in the old French Quarter

Bright light side of town

Day time life sure is cozy

Living with the shades pulled down

Living with the shades pulled down all day

Loving while the world goes 'round

Nobody knows what all we're doing

Living with the shades pulled down

Some might get the wrong idea

Bout the kind of man I am

But I bring home my half of the bacon

Picking in a guitar band

Love is all my working girl brings me

Coming in off the town

Day time life sure is cozy

Living with the shades pulled down
