The Band - The Shape I'm In

Thank you my friend SGT (Join to see) for sharing the music video of The Band performing "The Shape I'm In" from the documentary "The Last Waltz"
Rest in peace Richard George Manuel who was the Band's lead singer, pianist, and drummer who died in a motel room in Winter Park, Florida on March 4th 1986.


"The Shape I'm In" written by Robbie Robertson
(from "The Last Waltz" soundtrack)
"Go out yonder, peace in the valley
Come downtown, have to rumble in the alley
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in

Has anybody seen my lady?
This living alone will drive me crazy
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in

I'm gonna go down by the water
But I ain't gonna jump in, no, no
I'll just be looking for my neighbor
And I hear that's where she's been? Oh!

Out of nine lives, I spent seven
Now, how in the world do you get to Heaven?
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in

I just spent 60 days in the jailhouse
For the crime of having no dough
Now here I am back out on the street
For the crime of having nowhere to go

Save your neck or save your brother
Looks like it's one or the other
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in

Now two young kids might start a ruckus
You know they feel you trying to shuck us
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in"
