Alright Tonight Lyrics

Alright Tonight lyrics

(John Hiatt)

Chorus:
I'm alright tonight
I'm alright
You're
alright tonight
You're alright
We're alright tonight
It's alright
tonight

You came down
A twisted up road
You've been
traveling
For light years
You got here the same time
Those tears found
their way
Down your face
I fought with the laws tooth
And nail
And I
traveled
By night, dear
You're a sight for sore eyes
I've been
looking
All over the place
Up where the angels sigh
Down there the
dreams get
Smashed on the rocks
You and I
Wait to begin
again
Lifted above by a love
That does not end

Chorus

You
picked up some
Pieces of light
As you broke through
The speed of
sound
I was rockin' around
In my own
Two-dimensional way
Now when I
hear
That jet engine blow
Then I know you are
Leaving town
Baby, I'd
follow you
To the edge of it all, anyway
Up where the kingdom
comes
Down where the streets
Take the breath
Of another young
gun
Love is a whispered prayer
Shot like a spark
Though the
heart
Of dark despair

Chorus

I don't regret
Any
nineteen-year-old
Indiscretions
I can still fit both my feet
In my
mouth, anyway
But these days I'm just not as
Willing to nurse
The
obsession
If the doc says
I've got to come out
Then I'm happy to
pay

Chorus to fade
