I'm Doin' Alright (Live) - Van Zant

Written by：Melvern Rivers Ii Rutherford/Donald N. van Zant/Johnny Roy van Zant

I got a spot in the country

I got a dog in the yard

I got a beat up Chevy

Runs kinda rough but she starts

I got my grandaddy's shotgun

I can shoot pretty good

I got a nice little garden of weeds

Tucked back up in the wood

An' I'm doing all right livin' my life

You got yours an' I got mine

Yeah it may not look like much to you

But it's simple an' it suits me fine

Yeah the sound of the rain an' a lonely old train

Listen to that engine whine

'Cause I am what I am an' I sleep good at night

An' I'm doin' alright

I got a front porch for pickin'

I got a nice ol' guitar

I got some lightnin' for sippin'

I've had about a jar

I got a pretty old lady

She's good at stretchin' a dime

In this little corner a heaven mister

We have a helluva time

An' I'm doin all right livin' my life

You got yours an' I got mine

Yeah it may not look like much to you

But it's simple an' it suits me fine

Yeah the sound of the rain an' a lonely old train

Listen to that engine whine

Yeah I am what I am an' I don't give a damn

An' I'm doin' alright

Instrumental break

All the rats in the city

Are livin' out of a box

They look down their nose at my life I suppose

An' I just laugh my country a** off

Yeah I'm doing all right livin' my life

You got yours an' I got mine

Yeah it may not look like much to you

But it's simple an' it suits me fine

Yeah the sound of the rain an' a lonely old train

Listen to that engine whine

'Cause I am what I am an' I sleep good at night

An' I'm doin' alright

Yeah I'm doin' alright
