I'll Be Alright - Jess Klein

Sunset has cast upon the alley

I’ve had no phone calls today

They’re tall mountains

That keep you in that valley

And I miss you

But I’m not the type to pray

If I were through

I know what I’d say

I’ll be alright

I’ll be alright

I’ll be alright

Oh I don’t think I’ll be calling you tonight

I’ll be alright

I’ll be alright

I’ll be alright

Or I’ll sing this til the morning comes to light

The girls came to work down in the factories

Left all their lovers behind

Sent home pennies to buy more seed

And now I send you one of mine

Keeping busy sure makes me feel fine

I’ll be alright

I’ll be alright

I’ll be alright

Oh I don’t think I’ll be calling you tonight

I’ll be alright

I’ll be alright

I’ll be alright

Or I’ll sing this til the morning comes to light

Two blocks west on Harper is the lamplight

No one there has wisdom in their eyes

But when I’m singing hard I feel alright

It’s a hard one

Pride

Some years from now I imagine

When we all see the past as today

You’ll saddle up your horse and wagon

And come, look at how far I’ve strayed

You’ll say, baby, you were always a city girl

Pretty, in a lonely kind of way

I’ll be alright

I’ll be alright

I’ll be alright

Oh I don’t think I’ll be calling you tonight

I’ll be alright

I’ll be alright

I’ll be alright

Or I’ll sing this til the morning comes to light

I’ll be alright

I’ll be alright

I’ll be alright

Or I’ll sing this til the morning comes to light
