Jerry Jeff Walker - 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)
