I’m Alright
Lyrics by Taylor Cates and Ted Horrell
Music by Ted Horrell

They called my case, but I wasn’t there
Had a Greyhound ticket bound for thin air
The guy next to me wants to pick a fight
He wants to sleep and I got on the light

But that’s okay, I won’t get angry
Enough people now want to hang me
I’ll do what I must to make this work
No use risking a bust for some jerk

I’m about to cross the Tennessee line
Leaving eight to ten and my past behind
I’m gonna do this my way
And this is how I’ll have my say

My mom still loves me, but she won’t soon
The bond man said he’d send some goons
To prove ties to the community
I put up her house, now she’s out on the street

And my girl won’t know what hit her now
She always said that she couldn’t live without me
One more soul’s got to learn to live alone
One more heart ripped out of its caged home

I’m about to cross the Kentucky line
Leaving eight to ten and my past behind
I’m gonna do this my way
And this is how I’ll have my say

Hey, hey I’m alright
But they’re not gonna find me
I’m leaving the ones I love
And the many who don’t behind me

My lawyer probably thinks I’m dead
He’ll turn up...that’s what the judge said
Don’t bother looking for me
Don’t bother thinking about me ‘cause

I’m about to cross my finish line
Leaving eight to ten and my past behind
I’m gonna do this my way
And this is how I’ll have my say

Hey, hey I’m alright
