Alright Guy > [Hill Country Goodbye Story] > 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 checking it out
Just then, a friend of mine came through the door
Said, she′d never picked me for a scumbag before
She said, she didn't ever want to see me anymore
And I still don′t know why

I think I'm an alright guy
I think I'm an alright guy
I just wanna live until I 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 pictures of the Pope
I know I get wild, and I know I get drunk
But it ain't like I gotta 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 an alright guy
I think I'm an alright guy
I just wanna live until I 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 ordered me outta my car
And I was only kidding when I called 'em a coupla dicks
But still, they made me do the Stupid Human Tricks
And now, I′m stuck in this jail with a bunch of dumb hicks
And I still don't know why


I think I′m an alright guy
I think I'm an alright guy
I just wanna live until I 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 an alright guy
I think I′m alright
You know, I think I'm an alright guy
I really do, I think I′m alright
