Nichols, Joe - The Shape I'm In Lyrics






I've got a number on a napkin
A pounding in my head
It takes everything I've got
To crawl out of bed

I lost a hell of a woman
Freedom coked me on the chin
But I'm doing alright
For the shape I'm in

The sun came up again this morning
I got a call from a long lost friend
Planed this little road trip down in New Orleans
It ain't much but it beats where I've been

Yeah, I'm doing alright
I'm doing alright
I'm doing alright
For the shape I'm in, yeah

Well, I'm getting better
At barely getting by
When I look at her picture
I don't break down and cry

And all this time on my hands
It's getting easier to spend
'Cause I'm doing alright
For the shape I'm in

The sun came up again this morning
And took my own past back for a spin
Now it had rained, it ain't always pouring
And I'm learning how to live again

Yeah, I'm doing alright
I'm doing alright
I'm doing alright
For the shape I'm in

Yeah, I'm doing alright
Yes, I'm doing alright
Yeah, I'm doing alright
For the shape I'm in

Yes, I'm doing alright
Yeah, I'm doing alright
Yeah, I'm doing alright
For the shape I'm in

    In 88 I was 95 bravo MP U.S. army ft mclellan Alabama.. desert Storm fired up shortly thereafter... I had a Walkman for music lol.. I listened to cassette tapes on that sony Walkman.. I really am strugglin with my faith in humanity im tapped out...I see the young man in this video I see it in his eyes he's been through it.. I hope I find my way like he has... We need the American spirit in 2019 more than ever... New world order is like the devil has put a dark cloud over the universe.. everyone's in bed w them the mainstream media democrats they even hate Christians n God... I hope we pull together support president Trump 2020 ... We are one democrat away from communism border invasions...

  42. N.... ....

    if only the Gov would spend just 1 billion less on military and redirect it on research on how to regrow limbs or get ever more advanced prosthetics to repair the wounded soldiers...usa spends more than the next 25 countries in military spendings, 24 of which are allies. just 1 billion.

  43. A.... N....

    how can you not LIKE this song and all it stands for. some people are just mean hearted.

    Thank you for your service, I think its amazing when artists go over to support our troops and help keep their spirits up!

  72. D.... ....

    I think it's odd that a song about losing a woman has a video of troops learning to come home from war.

    D.... ....

    DuckTalesWooHoo1987 it's not just about a woman...it's about the entire life...

    D.... ....

    DuckTalesWooHoo1987 he lost the women because he went to war and didn't comeback the same the event is the story the women is just a supporting character

  73. M.... D....

    I really appreciated when I saw this guy live, he made a point to thank military, and then sang this song. He seems like a stand up man

  74. T.... H....

    Sorry to say this, but Mr Nichols doesn't run this YouTube channel. Vevo does. If anyone replies from this channel, which they probably won't, it will probably be some representative from Vevo.

  87. C.... S....

    TO OUR TROOPS THANK U

  88. D.... P....

    Levon Helm and The Band were great... This is a Great tribute to our American Hero's and what they deal with.. No matter what people may think.. Poor excuse and comment from one especially ..Country Music tell's life's stories and personal experience's... Some people aren't smart enough to realize That ...

  89. D.... M....

    The start of this video is bullsnot! All our military does is go over to murder and destroy and help the rich get richer!

    If he got shot and blown up its because they were freaking defending themselves!

    D.... M....

    Before you run your mouth do some research about what happened to his squad.

    D.... M....

    Look I'm a peaceful person but of people think the military murder people for fun is an ass they serve and protect our country. My cousin's buddy got blown up and killed by an IED in Afganistan. Driving on a road. God bless all troops in my perspective you will not be forgotten dead or alive. Think before you speak 🇺🇸

    D.... M....

    +Dead Dragons (Society) you're an idiot. Feel free to stand in front our military since you're stupid enough to not stand behind them.

    D.... M....

    +Dead Dragons (Society) Watch out guys! The 16 year old who thinks he knows how the world works because some conspiracy blog told him the "truth" is here to drop knowledge on us.

  90. M.... T....

    Marcus Luttrell is the man.

    M.... T....

    Damn right

  93. S.... D....

    I love it. Jesus loves you too!

  94. j.... n....

    My man was a marine whoop.awesome! !

  95. a.... l....

    Love this song!GOD bless yal! You

  96. M.... I....

    love this video

  97. D.... H....

    Thank you for your service Sir !! God bless you !!!

  98. B.... ....

    WOW! That guy looks like a Pick Up truck.
    Why marines have to be so huge? They make me feel like am not a man but an excuse of a man, I kind of feel insignificant when I look at them. Of course this has nothing to do with the fact that I have nothing but respect for those fellas.
    But it begs the question. Do average guys like us have any chance of getting a date with a lady in the army or do they only date guys that can wipe the floor with 10 guys at once?

    B.... ....

    +Bones of Gold Join the military (Army or Marines) and you'll look like that by the end of Basic Training..

    B.... ....

    +BurnRoddy depends on the woman... and what branch they're in... lol

    B.... ....

    @Kimberlynn Womack ahahah xD thanks for the tip :)

    B.... ....

    +Kimberlynn Womack that's not even close to being true.

    B.... ....

    BurnRoddy. has nothing to do with being a marine. has to do with courage love support of his country. song wasnt bout getting a woman. was bout not giving up after going through hell and back. yes woman like military men. but dont mean a ordinary man can't pick up a beautiful woman either not a competition between either one. he chased his dreams in video and didnt give up on life after being a brother of war.

  99. D.... w....

    God bless the Men in this video and all like them .
