Lyrics I'm Alright - Loudon Wainwright III

I'm Alright

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
