Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's all right for you
That's all right, little mama
Just any way you do
That's all right
That's all right
That's all right, little mama
Any way you do.
Well, Mama she done told me
Papa done told me too
"Son, that gal you're foolin' with
She ain't no good for you"
But that's all right
That's all right
That's all right, little mama
Any way you do.
Well, I'm leavin' town now, baby
I'm leavin' town for sure
Well, then you won't be bothered with me
Hangin' 'round your door
That's all right
That's all right
That's all right, little mama
Any way you do.
I need your lovin'
That's all right
That's all right, little mama
Any way you do.
Tyler Hilton's song "That's All Right" is a modern take on the classic song by Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup. The lyrics are simple but powerful, conveying a sense of defiance and independence that is relatable to many listeners. The repetition of the phrase "that's all right" throughout the song serves as a mantra, a reminder to the singer that he is in control of his own destiny and that he will not let anyone else dictate how he lives his life.
The first verse sets the tone for the rest of the song, with the singer telling his "little mama" that it's all right for her to do whatever she wants. This could be interpreted as a declaration of love or a warning that he won't try to control her. The second verse has the singer acknowledging the advice of his parents, who tell him that the woman he's with "ain't no good for you". However, he brushes off their warning, insisting that he knows what he's doing and that he's willing to take the risk.
The final verse has the singer announcing that he's leaving town, which could be seen as a way of taking control of the situation and choosing to remove himself from a potentially toxic relationship. However, he ends the song by singing that he still needs the woman's love, suggesting that he may not be as confident as he appears. Overall, "That's All Right" is a powerful song that captures the complexity of relationships and the struggle for independence and control.
