Classic Country Lyrics: "Alright Guy" von Todd Snider

Mit seinen humorvollen, nicht immer ganz jugendfreien Songs
blieb Todd Snider der grosse Hit leider verwehrt, doch fanden
seine Songs immer wieder in Coverversionen den Weg in die
Charts. In der Schweiz kennt man "Alright Guy" als "Liebe
Siech" von Polo Hofer.

You know just the other morning I was hanging around inside my 
house
I had that new book with pictures of Madonna Naked I was
checking 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 unitll I gotta die
I know I aint perfect but God knows I try
I think I'm an alright guy
I think I'm alright

Now maybee I'm dirty and maybee I smoke a little dope
But it aint 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 aint 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 ot 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 twice
