I'm Alright - Loudon Wainwright III

Well it’s been a long time, glad to see your face

I knew we’d meet again, another time another place

Can’t believe it’s been so many years

You better grab a chair and a couple of beers

Lookin' good in your three-piece suit

You know I always knew you’d take the business route

You were always the one to follow the line

And you look like you’re doin' alright

Been singin' for my rent and singin' for my supper

I’m above the below and below the upper

I’m stuck in the middle where money gets tight

But I guess I’m doin' alright

CHORUS

I’m all, I’m all, I’m alright

It’s a beautiful day, not a cloud in sight

So I guess I’m doin' alright

Oh whoa, oh whoa, I’m alright

I got a good ol' friend here with me tonight

And I guess I’m doin' alright

Well we had a lot of dreams when we were younger

They thought we were crazy, but we had the hunger

We tipped a lot of friends, skipped a lot of class

Been on top of the world and knocked on our (beat)

We lost touch, we lost in love

We lost our minds when things got tough, but

Beatin' time is a losing fight, but I guess I’m doin' alright

CHORUS

Well, I guess I’m doin' alright

INSTRUMENTAL

Well I hate to see this evening end

God only knows when I’ll see you again

Just send a fax or send me a letter

Or give me a call, that would even be better

Give the kids a kiss for me and say hello to the family

And tell them all my future’s lookin' bright

And that I miss 'em, but I’m doin' alright

I said I miss 'em, but I’m doin' alright

I’m all, I’m all, I’m alright

It’s a beautiful day, not a cloud in sight

So I guess I’m doin' alright

Oh whoa, oh whoa, I’m I’m I’m I’m I’m alright

I got a good ol' friend here with me tonight

And I guess I’m doin' alright

Well, I guess I’m doin' alright

I’m doin' alri----ght

Ummm humm
