You know just the other morning
I was hanging around in my house
I had that new book with pictures of Madonna naked
I was checkin' it out
Just then a friend of mine came through the door
Said she'd never pegged me for a scumbag before
She said she didn't ever want to see me any more
And I still don't know why
(CHORUS:)
I think I'm an alright guy
I think I'm an alright guy
I just want to live until I've got to die
I know I ain't perfect but God knows I try
I think I'm an alright guy
I think I'm alright
Now maybe I'm dirty
And maybe I smoke a little dope
Hey it ain't like I'm going on TV
And tearing up pictures of the pope
I know I get wild and I know I get drunk
But it ain't like I got a bunch of bodies in my trunk
My old man used to call me a no-good punk
And I still don't know why
(Chorus)
SOLO (over verse; skip final G)
You know just the other night
These cops pulled me over outside a bar
They turned on their lights
And they ordered me out of my car
Man I was only kidding when I called 'em a couple of dicks
But still they made me do the stupid human tricks
Now I'm stuck in this jail with a bunch of dumb hicks
And I still don't know why
(Chorus)
(Outro)
