Todd Snider - Alright Guy lyrics

rate me

You know just the other morning I was hanging around inside my house

I had that new book with pictures of Madonna Naked I was checking 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 wanna see me anymore

And I still don't know why

Chorus:

I think I'm an alright guy

I think I'm an alright guy

I just wanna live unitll I gotta die

I know I aint perfect but God knows I try

I think I'm an alright guy

I think I'm alright

Now maybee I'm dirty and maybee I smoke a little dope

But it aint like I'm going on T.V. and tearing up pictures of the Pope

I know I get wild I know I get drunk

But it aint like I gotta lot of bodies in my trunk

My old man used to call me a no good punk

And I still don't why

Chorus

You know just the other night these cops pulled me over outside a bar

They turned on their lights and said hey kid get ot of the car

I was only joking when I called em a couple of dicks

but still they made me do the stupid human tricks

And now I'm stuck in this cell with a bunch of dumb hicks

And I still don't why

Chorus twice
