I was sleeping with a loaded gun
I was scared of all the things I’ve done
Yeah I know I’m not the only one
It’s alright it’s alright it’s alright it’s alright now
I was chasin' down a high again
Trying to take whatever I could get
But you know I had to pay for it
It’s alright it’s alright it’s alright it’s alright now
I know you know everybody goes where the lights go

What do you kids wanna know about now
I made enough to make a young gun proud
Money & fame will bring a man shame
Ain’t no doubt about it
What do you kids wanna know about now
I found the bottom from the top somehow
Money & fame will bring a man shame
Ain’t no doubt about it

Yeah I’ve done some things that I regret
I was thinkin’ I was fortunate
Now I’m working just to pay the debt
It’s alright it’s alright it’s alright it’s alright now
You never know until you're offered it
But everybody’s got a price I guess
It’s even lower than you think it is
It’s alright it’s alright it’s alright it’s alright now
I know you know everybody goes where the lights go

What do you kids wanna know about now
I’ve seen the devil in the bright lights now
Money & fame will bring a man shame
Ain’t no doubt about it
What do you kids wanna know about now
I found the bottom from the top somehow
Money & fame will bring a man shame
Ain’t no doubt about it
