Lyrics
BOY?S ALRIGHT
By Matt Ward c2002 ASCAP
Pretty morning in New York
Pretty girl by my side
A little too much wine last night
Put a dent in my pride
But my fear of beginning
Is beginning to subside
I?m alright
Boy?s alright
How `bout a hand for the shooters
They always shoot so high
How `bout a win for the losers
They?ve had their turn to cry
While the oceans of loneliness
Have all reached their high tide
I?m alright
Boy?s alright
If it all comes tumbling down
Wash it all away
I?ll find me the strength inside
To build it up again one day
I?m alright
Boy?s alright
Warm woman from Europe
She lends me her hand
Like a fine line from Heinlein
She was a stranger in our strange land
And my crude street kid welcome
She just can?t understand
