Yep, Kenny Rogers and The First Edition. It was written by my friend, now deceased, Mickey Newbury.

I have always been rather fond of that song. much more than the Kenny Rodgers country stuff!
"I tripped on a cloud and fell 8 miles high, tore my mind on a jagged sky'
I just stopped in to see what condition my condition was in.
Someone painted april fools in big black letters on a dead end sign, I had my foot on the gas as I left the road and blew out my nind.
8 miles out of Memphis and I got no spare, 8 miles straight up, downtown some where.
I just stopped in to se what condition my condition was in."
