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
