The Ballad Of Johnny Alright Lyrics

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 alright
When you're feeling low, Johnny
Everybody wants to make it alright
When you're feeling low, Johnny
Everybody wants to make it alright
When 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"

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

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

But it's not alright, no, it's not alright, cause it's not alright, no it's not alright, Johnny.

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