Well it's been a long time, glad to see your face
I knew we'd meet again, another time another place
Can't believe it's been so many years
You better grab a chair and a couple of beers
Lookin' good in your three-piece suit
You know I always knew you'd take the business route
You were always the one to follow the line
And you look like you're doin' alright

Been singin' for my rent and singin' for my supper
I'm above the below and below the upper
I'm stuck in the middle where money gets tight
But I guess I'm doin' alright

CHORUS
I'm all, I'm all, I'm alright
It's a beautiful day, not a cloud in sight
So I guess I'm doin' alright
Oh whoa, oh whoa, I'm alright
I got a good ol' friend here with me tonight
And I guess I'm doin' alright

Well we had a lot of dreams when we were younger
They thought we were crazy, but we had the hunger
We tipped a lot of friends, skipped a lot of class
Been on top of the world and knocked on our (beat)
We lost touch, we lost in love
We lost our minds when things got tough, but
Beatin' time is a losing fight, but I guess I'm doin' alright

CHORUS
Well, I guess I'm doin' alright

INSTRUMENTAL

Well I hate to see this evening end
God only knows when I'll see you again
Just send a fax or send me a letter
Or give me a call, that would even be better
Give the kids a kiss for me and say hello to the family
And tell them all my future's lookin' bright
And that I miss 'em, but I'm doin' alright
I said I miss 'em, but I'm doin' alright

I'm all, I'm all, I'm alright
It's a beautiful day, not a cloud in sight
So I guess I'm doin' alright
Oh whoa, oh whoa, I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm alright
I got a good ol' friend here with me tonight
And I guess I'm doin' alright
Well, I guess I'm doin' alright
I'm doin' alri----ght
Ummm humm


Boy you sure look good there standing in the doorway with the sunset
light
Maybe I read you wrong thinking you could be my Mr. Right
I was putting my heart and soul on the line
You said you needed some time, just a little more time
To make up your mind
Well it's been long enough, time is up
Bye bye love
I'll catch you later
Got a lead foot down on my accelerator
And a rear veiw mirror torn off
Cause I ain't ever looking back
And that's a fact
I've tried all I can imagine
I've begged and pleaded in true lover's fashion
I've got pride
I'm taking it for a ride
Bye bye, bye bye my baby bye bye
Don't think all those tears are going to hold my here like they've done
before
You'll find what's left of us in a cloud of dust on highway 4
Baby what did you expect me to do
Just sit around and wait on you
Well I'm through watching you just skate around the truth
And know it sounds trite, I've seen the light
Bye bye love
I'll catch you later
Got a lead foot down on my accelerator
And a rear view mirror torn off
Cause I ain't ever looking back
And that's a fact
I've tried all I can imagine
I've begged and pleaded in true lover's fashion
I've got pride
I'm taking it for a ride
Bye bye, bye bye my baby bye bye
I've lost the game I guess
I did my best
To win the part
Now I'm leaving here with what's left of my heart
Bye bye
I'll catch you later
Got a lead foot down on my accelerator
And a rear view mirror torn off
Cause I ain't ever looking back
You can count on that
I've tried all I can imagine
I've begged and pleaded in true lover's fashion
I've got pride
I'm taking it for a ride
Bye bye, bye bye my baby bye bye
Bye bye
Oh baby
Bye bye, bye bye my baby bye bye
