I'm Alright Lyrics - Live At The Cactus Cafe - Loudon Wainwright Iii

Well it's been a long time, glad to see your face 

I knew we'd meet again another time, another place 

Can't believe it's been so many years 

We better grab a chair and a couple of beers 

You're lookin' good in your three piece suit 

You know I always knew you'd take the business route 

You were always the one who followed the light and 

You look like you're doing alright 

I've been singing for my rent and singing for my supper 

I'm above the below and below the upper 

I'm stuck in the middle where the money gets tight 

But i guess I'm doing alright 

I'm all, I'm all, I'm alright 

It's a beautiful day, not a cloud in sight 

So I guess I'm doing alright 

Oh, oh I'm alright 

Got a good ole friend here with me tonight 

So I guess I'm doing alright 

Well we raised a lot of hell when we were younger 

They thought we were crazy but we had the hunger 

We kept a lot of friends and skipped a lot of class 

Been on top of the world and knocked on our ass 

Lost touch, we lost in love 

And lost our minds when things got tough 

But beating time is a losing fight 

But I guess I'm doing alright 

I'm all, I'm all, I'm alright 

It's a beautiful day, not a cloud in sight 

So I guess I'm doing alright 

Oh, oh I'm alright 

Got a good ole friend here with me tonight 

So I guess I'm doing alright 

Well I hate to see this evening end 

God only knows when I'll see you again 

Send a fax or send me a letter 

Or give me a call that will even be better 

Give the wife a kiss for me 

And say hello to the family 

Tell them all my future's looking bright and I miss them 

But I'm doing alright 

I'm all, I'm all, I'm alright 

It's a beautiful day, not a cloud in sight 

So I guess I'm doing alright 

Oh, oh I'm alright 

Got a good ole friend here with me tonight 

So I guess I'm doing alright
