Alright
Darius Rucker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah it's alright, alright
Don't need no five star reservations
I've got spaghetti and a cheap bottle of wine
Don't need no concert in the city
I've got a stereo and the best of Patsy Cline
Ain't got no caviar no Dom Perignon
Cause I've got a roof over my head,
The woman I love laying in my bed
And it's alright, alright
I've got shoes under my feet
Forever in her eyes staring back at me
And it's alright, alright
And I've got all I need
And it's alright by me
Maybe later on we'll walk down to the river
Lay on a blanket and stare up at the moon
It may not be no French Riviera
But it's all the same to me as long as I'm with you
It may be a simple life, but that's okay
If you ask me baby, I think I've got it made
Cause I've got a roof over my head
The woman I love laying in my bed
And it's alright, alright
I've got shoes under my feet
Forever in her eyes staring back at me
And it's alright, alright
And I've got all I need
And it's alright by me
It's alright by me, yeah yeah
When I lay down at night I thank the Lord above
For giving me everything I ever could dream of
Cause I've got a roof over my head
The woman I love laying in my bed
And it's alright, alright, alright, alright
I've got shoes under my feet
Forever in her eyes staring back at me
And it's alright, alright, alright
And I've got all I need, yeah
I've got all I need
And it's alright by me
Oh yeah, it's alright by me

Damn straight!
The reason we humans are on this Earth and where we will go after we're gone will be debated until we're gone.
However, what do we know with absolute certainty is that we ARE here, so we better make sure we're living our lives in the best way possible by uniting any and all divides through peace and faith.
It doesn't matter who you are or where you come from. The great thing about America is that we all have the freedom to do, say, or believe what we want as individuals.
If everyone was the same, the world would be pretty boring!
But we also need to understand the stipulation; you cannot use those beliefs to hurt others.
It doesn't matter if you believe in the commandments or not, if you hurt or kill people for any reason, you are scum. Self defense is one thing; not all people have the will to save themselves. All we can do is feel pity for those who are lost and pray for them.
But! At the end of the day, we must come to the realization that this is the only life we have! So let's make the best of it!
Edit: I am proud to be Dennis Gober Sr's 100th like!
