Hey That's All Right

(album: Dangerous Spirits - 1997)

Now Josie said she seen you in this downtown cafe
Where you and me used to go
And she told me that your old boyfriend Johnny and some kid
Got a gig down there doing one of them acoustic duos
And she told me you sat near the stage and you ordered a margarita
And when it came you smiled at Johnny and said "olé"
Well, I know that you can do what you want
But it still hurts, I hate to say

Hey, that's all right, I believe I'll be okay
Hey, that's all right, I believe I'll be okay

Well, now me, I been hanging out down at the harbor
With them old hard boys from the double-A
Yeah, I like old stories they tell
And how they ain't gonna be drinking just for today
And then I take that guitar you give me, the one I didn't pawn
And I go over to this little folk club and I wait around to play
'Cause now I can do what I want
But I gotta ask a favor every day

Hey, that's all right, I believe I'll be okay
(That's all right, I'm gonna be okay)
Hey, that's all right, I believe I'll be okay
(That's all right, I'm gonna be okay)

And then Josie told me you had a few more margaritas
And you got up on stage and started playing the tambourine
And you started singing "ooh la la la" real loud and off-key in the microphone
And shaking it like they had never seen
And then the cops come
And your old boyfriend Johnny and the kid gotta convince 'em not to haul you away
I don't know why Josie told me this
Perhaps it was just to brighten up my day

Hey, that's all right, I'm gonna be okay
(That's all right, I'm gonna be okay)
I say hey that's all right, I am gonna be okay
(That's all right, I'm gonna be okay)
I say hey that's all right, I'm gonna be okay
(That's all right, I'm gonna be okay)
Whoa, hey that's alright, I'm gonna be okay
(That's all right, I'm gonna be okay)

(That's all right, I'm gonna be okay)
(That's all right, I'm gonna be okay)
Olé
(That's all right, I'm gonna be okay)
(That's all right, I'm gonna be okay)
That's all right
(That's all right, I'm gonna be okay)
