lyrics

When I was just a young boy, my mother said
Go out see the big bad world, go fill your head
I traded in my EH, stumbled down the mall
Bought myself a one way ticket from some guy named Paul
I'll be alright

Standing on the tarmac, look at my old man
He was flipping his middle finger and so was Dan
Tears started falling, the whisky was calling
Settled back to a new beginning and celebrate the end

I'll be alright
I'll be alright
It's gonna turn out fine
It's gonna be alright

Landed in Heathrow, with my lady friend
Scored a job pulling beers on the River Thames
Things started turning sour, hour by hour
Didn't know where to begin so I pulled the pin

I'll be alright
I'll be alright
It's gonna work out fine
It's gonna be alright

Now that I'm a father, I got two kids of my own
I wonder if my own blood will be free and roam
I think about my mother and those words she said
She said go out see the big bad world go fill your head

I'll be alright
I'll be alright
It's gonna work out fine
It's gonna be alright
