It`s All Right Lyrics

Couldn't tell my teacher my last name when I was in grade school

Stuttered
when I talked and everybody laughed at me

I was a boy from across the
tracks

I wore hand-me-downs on my back

But I swore that I'd never
let the bitters get the best of me



Fell in love with a pretty
little girl when I was older

And like a fool, I figured there was
something I could make of me

But it wasn't in the cards 'cause her daddy
was rich

And it was commonly plain to see

No matter what I did she
would never take a likin' to me



But it's all right, it's all
right

I come up the hard way and fought a good fight

And it's all
right with me

It's all right, it's all right

I come up the hard way
and fought a good fight

And it's all right with me



If I'm
lucky I still got a few more years of livin'

And lady luck's never been a
real good friend to me

I never asked a favour of a man in my life

But the preacher I'm gonna see

And tell him when I die say these words
over me



Here lies a man who never asked the world for nothin'

He laboured in the sun and slept in the shade of a tree

His hands was
calloused but his heart was warm

For his mind was pure and free

The
good Lord knows that's the way a man's got to be



It's all right,
it's all right

I come up the hard way and fought a good fight

And
it's all right with me

But it's all right, it's all right

I come up
the hard way and fought a good fight

And it's all right with me

It's
all right, it's all right
