Alright Guy Songtext

von Todd Snider

You know just the other morning,
I was hanging around in my house.
I had that new book with pictures of Madonna naked,
I was checkin' it out.

Just then a friend of mine came through the door,
Said she never pegged me for a scumbag before,
She said she didn't ever want to see me any more,
And I still don't know why.

I think I'm am alright guy
I think I'm am alright guy
I just want to live until I've gotta die
I know I ain't perfect,
But God knows I try
I think I'm an alright guy
I think I'm alright
Now maybe I'm dirty,
And maybe I smoke a little dope.
It ain't like I'm going on TV
And tearing up pictures of the Pope.
I know I get wild and I know I get drunk,
Well, it ain't like I got a bunch of bodies in my trunk.
My old man used to call me a no good punk,
And I still don't know why.

I think I'm am alright guy
I think I'm am alright guy
I just want to live until I've gotta die
I know I ain't perfect,
But God knows I try
I think I'm an alright guy
I think I'm alright,
I think I'm alright...hell yeah
You know, just the other night
These cops pulled me over outside a bar.
They turned on their lights
And they ordered me out of my car.
Man, I was only kidding
When I called them a couple of dicks,
But still they made me do the stupid human tricks,
Now I'm stuck in this jail with a bunch of dumb hicks, A
Nd I still don't know why.

I think I'm am alright guy
I think I'm am alright guy
I just want to live until I've gotta die
I know I ain't perfect,
But God knows I try
I think I'm an alright guy
I think I'm alright,
I think I'm am alright guy
I think I'm alright
You know I think I'm alright guy
I really do...I think I'm alright
