lyrics

My baby girl she's twenty-two years old
She's gonna die alone
And I'm alright
Her mother's been gone for fourteen years
Left for the man in the sky sometime ago
Keep an eye on the bright light
'Cause he lets her visit I know
And I'm alright
She'll be missing soon

So tell my son, and tell my wife
That everything's gonna be alright
'Cause after death there's just more life
If you wanna stay don't go to the light
And I'm alright

My father's sixty-two years old
He's gonna die alone
And I'm alright
His wife has been gone for like twenty years
Left for the man in the sky sometime ago
Keep an eye on the dark light
'Cause he doesn't cry anymore
And he's alright
He'll be seeing her soon

So tell my son, and tell my wife
That everything's gonna be alright
'Cause after death there's just more life
If you wanna stay don't go to the light
And I'm alright

The thing that keeps me going is the smile from my daughter
And if that light burns out
Then I would rather die

I got a call this afternoon sometime
From a caller unknown
And I'm alright
My daughter's been missing since last night
Never made it home, black traffic lights
Keep an eye on the phone
Because she'll be back soon I hope
And I'm alright
I'll be seeing them soon

So tell my son, and tell my wife
That everything's gonna be alright
'Cause after death there's just more life
If you wanna stay don't go to the light
And I'm alright

I'm alright
I'm alright
