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 never pegged me for a scumbag before
She said she didn't ever wanna see me anymore
And I still don't know why
Chorus
I think I'm an alright guy
I think I'm an alright guy
I just wanna live until I gotta 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
But it ain't like I'm going on T.V. and tearing up pictures of the Pope
I know I get wild I know I get drunk
But it ain't like I gotta lot of bodies in my trunk
My old man used to call me a no good punk
And I still don't why
Chorus
You know just the other night these cops pulled me over outside a bar
They turned on their lights and said hey kid get out of the car
I was only joking when I called 'em a couple of dicks
But still they made me do the stupid human tricks
And now I'm stuck in this cell with a bunch of dumb hicks
And I still don't why
Chorus (x2)
Jerry Jeff Walker, nato Ronald Clyde Crosby, è stato un cantautore e chitarrista statunitense di grande successo negli anni '70. Conosciuto anche come Gypsy Songman, ha lasciato un'impronta significativa nel panorama musicale country, country rock, folk rock e rock and roll. La sua musica, spesso caratterizzata da testi ironici e storie di vita vissuta, ha conquistato un pubblico vasto e fedele. Tra i suoi brani più famosi ricordiamo "Mr. Bojangles", una ballata che racconta la storia di un ballerino di strada, e "Desperados Waiting for a Train", un brano diventato un classico del genere outlaw country. Walker è stato anche un importante collaboratore con altri artisti come Willie Nelson e Waylon Jennings, contribuendo a definire lo stile musicale dell'outlaw country.
