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 want to see me anymore
And I still don't know why

I think I'm an alright guy
I think I'm an alright guy
I just want to live until I've 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
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
Well, 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

I think I'm an alright guy
I think I'm an alright guy
I just want to live until I've 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

I think I'm alright...hell yeah

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 them 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

I think I'm an alright guy
I think I'm an alright guy
I just want to live until I've 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
I think I'm an alright guy
I think I'm alright
You know I think I'm an alright guy
I really do
I think I'm alright
