about

I wrote the first verse to this one when I was like 15 or something, and didn't finish it until well into my 30s. The woo-woo part found its way to "Can't Get Over You" on "EP." But this has always been a great sing-a-long, live or recorded. Catchy, catchy. It all boils down to paying attention to life. Everybody leaves. One way or the other. Lying, cheating, dying. Men cheat, and women they lie. Both die. So in the meantime, it's best to make something worthwhile last. Take my hand and baby, hold on tight. No fuss, no fight. Everything's gonna be alright.

lyrics

EVERYTHING’S GONNA BE ALRIGHT

People come and people go
I try hard not to make it so
But what can I do
That’s just the way people are

Daddy leaves and Mama just can’t stay
Pack your things son we’re moving away
Forget what you knew
But this I promise you

Things go wrong but baby that’s alright
Long as I got you in my arm tonight
I’ll keep you safe and dry until the mornin’ light
Hush a bye my baby everything’s gonna be alright

You can look but you can’t touch
I guess I never wanted it as much
But what can I do
Men cheat and women they lie
Neither one ever understand why
And it’s sad but it’s true
There’s nothin’ you can do ‘cept

Take my hand and baby hold on tight
There’s no need to argue baby fuss or fight
I’ll rock you pretty steady till the sky come a-light
So hush a bye my honey everything’s gonna be alright

Say hello say good bye
Men they cheat and women they lie
