Keepin' the lights on this last little while

Nobody trying' to hunt us down for somethin' we done wrong

Got no reason not to smile

The sun come up every mornin'

Even when it's too cloudy to see

I was willin' to lose that years ago

Don't know what was the matter with me

Baby we're alright now

Gotta love so strong

Alright now

Even when it's wrong

[Verse]

A little gratitude now babe

It sure can go a long, long way

Feels good like eatin' ice cream

So I try to have a little bit every day

[Verse]

A lot of heavy liftin'

Bein' done on our behalf

Didn't earn it, didn't deserve it

We didn't even have to ask

[Chorus]

And we're alright now

Gotta love so strong

Baby we're alright now

Even when it's wrong

[Chorus]

So won't you stay with me tonight

We'll cry some tears and sing some songs

Honey it's alright now

All those bad old days are gone

[Solo]

G G C C D D G

[Chorus]

Won't you stay with me tonight

We'll cry some tears and sing some songs

Baby, we're alright now

Even when it's wrong
