And It’s Still Alright (Live at Red Rocks / September 20, 2020)
[Verse 1]
It ain't alright, the hardness of my head
Now close your eyes and spin around, say
Hard times, you could find that
It ain't the way that you want
But it's still alright
Late at night, do you lay around wondering?
Counting all the lines, it ain't so funny now, say
Times are hard, you get this far but
It ain't the way that you want
I'll be damned if this old man
Don't start to counting his losses
But it's still alright

[Verse 2]
They say you learn a lot out there
How to scorch and burn
Gonna have to bury your friends
And then you'll find it gets worse
You're standing out on the ledge
With no way to get down
You start praying for wings to grow
Ah, baby, just let go

[Verse 3]
I ain't alright, you keep spinning out ahead
And It was cold outside when I hit the ground, say
I could sleep here, forget all the fеar
It will take time to grow
Maybe, I don't know
Hеy, tonight, if you think about it again
Remembering all the times that you pointed out, say
The glass is clear, but all this fear
Starts a-leaving a mark
Idle hands are all that stands
From your time in the dark
But it's still alright
