We'll Be Alright
The Hip Abduction Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We'll get by
Headin west keeping these dreams alive
Like 2 American hippies
Love is all we got
But we′ll get by
Maybe work a farm out in big sky
Then down to the California coast
You always wanna be where the mountains meet the sea
No longer on the run
I got u and you got me
So long Tennessee
Yeah we'll be alright
Two runaways cruisin down the highway
Till they fade into a sun kissed memory
Looking back still dreaming bout yesterday
Keep your head up stay true its our policy
Yeah we'll be alright
We′ll get by
Learn to take time to free the mind
Like 2 american hippies
Yeah we′ll be alright
We keep our head up high
Never stop following those inside
We can be any
place
With love we'll fly
The lyrics to The Hip Abduction's song We'll Be Alright is a beautiful and inspiring song about two lovers who are on the run, chasing their dreams, and making the most of their lives. The lyrics "Love is all we got, but we'll get by" speaks to the idea that although the two lovers may not have all the material possessions the world can offer, they have each other, and that is enough. The lyrics "Maybe work a farm out in big sky, save a few pennies" speaks to the idea of chasing simple living and being self-sufficient.
The line "You always wanna be where the mountains meet the sea" speaks to the idea that the two lovers are chasing the beauty and serenity of nature. The song has a strong theme of freedom and the idea of living a free-spirited life. The lyrics "Like 2 American hippies" connects the idea of freedom with the hippie culture of the late 60s and early 70s.
