I'll cut through San Gabriel, then head home
Woman's alone and our double, looks like its trouble again
And after the carnival, I'm sick from the cotton
Tellin' my friends I've forgotten my rythym, but still they're just giving me hell
But it's alright, when I'm back at home
It's alright, I ain't sleepin' alone
It's alright, the darkest of hours come just before daylight
And out on the avenue, the girls are peforming
Soon they'll be swarming around me, breaking the boundries of comfort
Uppers and alcohol, beer don't mix
Things have been bad, but they're fixin' to turn inspite all your concern I'll be fine
'Cause it's alright, when I'm back at home
It's alright, I ain't sleepin' alone
It's alright, the darkest of hours comes just before daylight
And the daylight is quickly approaching
And the breakers are comin' on strong
All my own words are choking, won't be long
'Cause it's alright, when I'm back at home
It's alright, I ain't drinkin' alone
It's alright, the darkest of hours comes just before daylight
It's alright, the darkest of hours comes just before daylight
