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
