The Ballad Of Johnny Alright

Johnny was a boy, thought he was a man

Thought he lived in a world that didn't understand

But it's alright, alright

Mama came down and stood right there

Said, "Johnny boy, don't you feel scared

'Cause it's alright, alright"

Johnny was a boy, thought he was a man

Thought he lived in a world that didn't understand

Johnny was a boy, thought he was alone

But it's alright if you're feeling low, Johnny...

Everybody wants to make it alright

When you're feeling low, Johnny

Everybody wants to make it alrightWhen you're feeling low, Johnny

Papa turned around and what did he say

He said, "Johnny boy don't you feel that way

'Cause it's alright, alright"

Another came in and what do you know

Said, "Johnny boy don't you feel so low

'Cause it's alright, alright"

Well it's not alright when you ain't got nowhere to sleep

And it's not alright when you ain't got nothing to eat

And it's not alright when you ain't got no one to love you

But Johnny boy you got all that stuff
