Charley Pride - It's All Right Lyrics
Couldn't tell my teacher my last name when I was in grade schoolStuttered when I talked and everybody laughed at meI was a boy from across the tracksI wore hand-me-downs on my backBut I swore that I'd never let the bitters get the best of meFell in love with a pretty little girl when I was olderAnd like a fool, I figured there was something I could make of meBut it wasn't in the cards 'cause her daddy was richAnd it was commonly plain to seeNo matter what I did she would never take a likin' to meBut it's all right, it's all rightI come up the hard way and fought a good fightAnd it's all right with meIt's all right, it's all rightI come up the hard way and fought a good fightAnd it's all right with meIf I'm lucky I still got a few more years of livin'And lady luck's never been a real good friend to meI never asked a favour of a man in my lifeBut the preacher I'm gonna seeAnd tell him when I die say these words over meHere lies a man who never asked the world for nothin'He laboured in the sun and slept in the shade of a treeHis hands was calloused but his heart was warmFor his mind was pure and freeThe good Lord knows that's the way a man's got to beIt's all right, it's all rightI come up the hard way and fought a good fightAnd it's all right with meBut it's all right, it's all rightI come up the hard way and fought a good fightAnd it's all right with meIt's all right, it's all right
