Alright Guy Lyrics

Alright Guy lyrics

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)
