Alright Guy Lyrics - Singles - Jerry Jeff Walker

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 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 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 

But it ain't 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 ain't 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 out 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 (x2)
