I met a man who told me that the way
you do things ain't quite right
I met a man who told me I was wrong
He told me that the way I've lived
is way too fast
Slow down, life ain't that long
I told him that I didn't care
Had more than my share of the good things
How can that be bad
He turned on me and said it's just a dream
I said it is, I'm sure sleeping on
Heaven is the only place
He told me in a solemn voice
Fingering his crucifix
I'll take my chances by myself
With just a little wine and women
This man's got to ease his pain
I'll be all right, I'll be all right, just you watch me
I'll be all right, I'll be all right
He wrung his hands in desperation
I said "Sir" and bowed down
Communication was a little low
He said, "I'll give you one last chance"
Well, as I'm a little hard of hearing
I didn't dig what he was saying
I'll be all right, I'll be all right, just you watch me
I'll be all right, I'll be all right
Can you get that together?
