It's Alright
Poor Mans Poison Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I tend to dream when I'm drinking
And if you knew me, you'd say that he's a fool, but I like him anyways
And that's alright with me
It's alright with me
I tend to laugh when it's worth it
I look for something bad when it's perfect
But she loves me anyways
And that's alright with me
It's alright with me
Yeah that's alright with me
That's alright with me
Well I've got friends but not too many
And I can count them all on my two hands
And since they know me they can say to you I'd trust
And there's not too many these days
And that's alright with me
It's alright with me

I tend to pray what I'm thinking
I am honest with God about my thoughts and feelings
And I tend to dream when I'm drinking
When I drink, I let my mind wander to new possibilities and ideas
And if you knew me, you'd say that he's a fool, but I like him anyways
People may judge me, but I am comfortable with who I am
And that's alright with me
I accept myself and do not need the approval of others
It's alright with me
I am content with my life
I tend to laugh when it's worth it
I enjoy humor and lightheartedness when appropriate
I look for something bad when it's perfect
I recognize that perfection is not attainable and strive to find the flaws instead
And if she knew me, she'd say that she's afraid
Others may feel intimidated by me because of my unique qualities
But she loves me anyways
Despite any fears, people care for me and appreciate me for who I am
And that's alright with me
I am grateful for the love and support I receive
It's alright with me
I am at peace with myself and my relationships
Well I've got friends but not too many
I prioritize quality over quantity when it comes to friendships
And I can count them all on my two hands
I have a select few friends who I trust and value
And since they know me they can say to you I'd trust
My friends can vouch for my character and reliability
And there's not too many these days
In today's world, it can be difficult to find genuine friendships
And that's alright with me
I am content with the few meaningful connections I have made
It's alright with me
I am grateful for the friendships I have and do not need more to be happy

And then West Virginia out on the horizon"
