[Jake Miller - I'm Alright lyrics]
Today I met a man, sitting on the corner
He was holding out his hand
Had a couple quarters
That he saved up in a can
I think I heard him whisper
That you'll never understand
Damn, no place to call his home said he
Lives alone so he's forced to roam
With a shopping cart filled to the
Top with every thing he owns
A smile on his face, yep there he stood
He was holding up sign saying life is good
Man, I wonder what it'd be like
A day in his shoes
I guess when you got nothing
You got nothing to lose
He said boy, don't you pity me
I'm still standing tall
As a matter of fact, I got it all
I got life, I got love
I got faith and that's enough
We feel sorrow, we feel pain
But there's sunshine after rain
So I'm alright
(you'll be fine, take it one day at time)
So I'm alright (said you'll be fine
Take it one day at time)
Today I met a man makes
A couple hundred grand
Always stressing out got 2 cell
Phones in his hand
Lives the country club life
Think he's on his third wife
Never makes it home for dinner
Cause he's working every night
Five cars in the garage
Four he's never driven
Always wanting more than just the
Life that he's been given
Got a strange obsession
With material possessions
Now he's always popping Prozac
To battle his depression
He's got everything he's ever wanted
And he's always trying to flaunt it
But now it's all coming back to haunt him
Mistaken what's important in life for
All the pointless stuff
For some people, everything's just not enough
You gotta keep going, never give it up
You only live once, might as well live it up
Every breath I take is a reason to believe
That the finest things in life
Came to me for free
Said you gotta keep going, never give it up
You only live once, might as well live it up
Every breath I take is a reason to believe
That the finest things in life
Came to me for free
Yeah, you got, nothing to lose, haha
He was holding out his hand
Had a couple quarters
That he saved up in a can
I think I heard him whisper
That you'll never understand
Damn, no place to call his home said he
Lives alone so he's forced to roam
With a shopping cart filled to the
Top with every thing he owns
A smile on his face, yep there he stood
He was holding up sign saying life is good
Man, I wonder what it'd be like
A day in his shoes
I guess when you got nothing
You got nothing to lose
He said boy, don't you pity me
I'm still standing tall
As a matter of fact, I got it all
I got life, I got love
I got faith and that's enough
We feel sorrow, we feel pain
But there's sunshine after rain
So I'm alright
(you'll be fine, take it one day at time)
So I'm alright (said you'll be fine
Take it one day at time)
Today I met a man makes
