Todd Snider - Alright Guy lyrics

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 want to see me any more

And I still don't know why

Chorus:

I think I'm am alright guy, I think I'm am alright guy

I just want to live until I've 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

It ain't like I'm going on TV

And tearing up pictures of the Pope

I know I get wild and I know I get drunk

Well, it ain't like I got a bunch of bodies in my trunk

My old man used to call me a no good punk

And I still don't know why

(Chorus)

You know, just the other night

These cops pulled me over outside a bar

They turned on their lights

And they ordered me out of my car

Man, I was only kidding when I called them a couple of dicks

But still they made me do the stupid human tricks

Now I'm stuck in this jail with a bunch of dumb hicks

And I still don't know why

(Chorus
