Lyrics
You'd like to show me all around
Thank you girl but I know this town
It's alright, hey lawdy mama
It's alright
Don't you know they're all the same
Only difference is the name
It's alright, hey lawdy mama
It's alright
Three motels, dusty cars
A movie show and a dozen bars
It's alright, hey lawdy mama
It's alright
Only thing that I can say
We'll be here for just one day
(Baby don't) Don't you know
We're leavin' early in the mornin'?
(So long) I don't know, we might be back next year
Baby oh, it just might be never
Don't ya worry 'bout it
(So long) Good to know your smilin' face was here
This town is borin' you to tears
But nothin' in the world ever happens here
It's alright, hey lawdy mama
It's alright
Don't you know you've gotta help
Nothin' ever happens by itself
It's alright, hey lawdy mama
It's alright
If no one will share the load
Go pack your bags, hit the open road
It's alright, hey lawdy mama
It's alright
Try to find someone like you
Hope will tell you what to do
(Baby don't) Don't you know
We're leavin' early in the mornin'?
(So long) I don't know, we might be back next year
Baby oh, it just might be never
Don't ya worry 'bout it
So long, good to know your smilin' face was here
