I'm Alright

I'm Alright - Loudon Wainwright III

(Wainwright)

Woke up this morning, didn't feel that bad

Last night was definitely not one of the worst I ever had

Ate a nice dinner, drank a few drinks

Didn't think about you baby no matter what you think

Went back to my hotelroom I went straight to bed

Didn't moan, didn't cry and I did not wish I was dead

I'm alright

I'm alright

Yeah I'm alright baby

I'm alright without you

Woke up this morning, didn't have the blues

So I put on my tubesocks, laced up my running shoes

Went down to the reservoir to jog a mile or two

Didn't take about our love and I wasn't missing you

Went back to my hotelroom took a few phonecalls

Clean sheets on a made up bed and artwork on the wall

I'm allright

I'm allright

Yeah I'm alright baby

I'm alright without you

Woke up this afternoon and I sat up in the bed

There was a gnawing in my gut and a poundin' in my head

So I went to the bathroom, to the medicinechest

There was sleepin'pills and razorblades and all the rest

But I was in control baby I was so relaxed

I found myself my dental floss, my favourite kind - unwaxed

I'm alright

I'm alright

Yeah I'm alright baby

I'm alright without you
