I'm Doin' Alright

Van Zant


Whoo! 

I got a spot in the country. 
I got a dog in the yard. 
I got a beat-up Chevy: 
Rust kinda rough but she starts. 
I got my Grandaddy's shotgun: 
I can shoot pretty good. 
I got a nice little garden of weeds, 
Tucked back up in the wood. 

An' I'm doin all right, livin' my life: 
You got yours an' I got mine. 
Yeah, it may not look like much to you, 
But it's simple an' it suits me fine. 
Yeah, the sound of the rain an' a lonely old train: 
Listen to that engine whine. 
'Cause I am what I am an' I sleep good at night, 
An' I'm doin' alright. 

I got a front porch for pickin', 
I got a National guitar. 
I got some lightnin' for sippin': 
I've had about a jar. 
I got a pretty old lady, 
She's good at stretchin' a dime. 
In this little corner a-heaven mister, 
We have a helluva time. 

An' I'm doin all right, livin' my life: 
You got yours an' I got mine. 
Yeah, it may not look like much to you, 
But it's simple an' it suits me fine. 
Yeah, the sound of the rain an' a lonely old train: 
Listen to that engine whine. 
Yeah, I am what I am an' I don't give a damn, 
An' I'm doin' alright. 

Instrumental Break. 

All the rats in the city, 
Are livin' out of a box. 
They look down their nose, at my life, I suppose, 
An' I just laugh my country ass off. 

Yeah, I'm doin all right, livin' my life: 
You got yours an' I got mine. 
Yeah, it may not look like much to you, 
But it's simple an' it suits me fine. 
Yeah, the sound of the rain an' a lonely old train: 
Listen to that engine whine. 
'Cause I am what I am an' I sleep good at night, 
An' I'm doin' alright. 
Yeah, I'm doin' alright. 
Doin' alright!
