COUNTRY ALRIGHT
Lyrics & Music & Copyright by Brian McNulty. All rights reserved.

VERSE 1:
My boy & I are by the riverside.
His rod is taller than he is.
I teach him to cast & bait a hook,
Just like my daddy did.

PRE-CHORUS 1:
Our bare feet are in the sand,
And our fishing rods are in our hands.
And everything is alright--
Country alright.

CHORUS 1:
Our spirits are flying high.
I look in his smiling eyes,
And everything is alright-.
Country alright.

VERSE 2:
Ten years later-- same fishing hole,
The cicadas sing their dying song.
Soon my boy will leave for boot camp.
He won't be here for long.

PRE-CHORUS 2:
Our bare feet are in the sand,
And our fishing rods are in our hands.
And everything is alright--
Country alright.

CHORUS 2:
Our spirits are flying high.
I look in his smiling eyes.
He'll serve his country alright--
Country alright.


BRIDGE:
Some moments in life stay with you.
You carry the memories in your mind,
And think of those days when times get tough,
To feel good deep inside.

PRE-CHORUS 3
Now my boy is in a foreign land,
A machine gun is in his hands.
He needs to feel alright--
Country alright.
He thinks of home and closes his eyes.

CHORUS 3
And his feet are in the sand.
And his fishing rod is in his hand.
He sees my smiling eyes.
For a moment it is alright--
Country alright!

REPEAT CHORUS 1.
