"I'm Alright" lyrics

I'll start at the beginning
Hold 'em off until I'm done
Then I got things to do
Places left to run
I was born into a storm
A heartache miles wide
Mama kicking down
Burning crosses on the west side
Oh, my daddy was the greatest
They tried dragging him to hell
You can't break that man in his cell
He ain't the one
On his knees, begging Jesus
While they tore him down to pieces
Not begging for himself
Just for his son

I won't trade my story
I won't trade my pain
There's fire that builds inside the battle
If you're here to rescue me
You're too late
I'm alright, I'm alright, I'm alright
I'm alright, I'm alright, I'm alright

I'm alright
I'm alright

Oh, life is comin' at you
Throwing hatchets out in batches
If you're gonna live
You'd stand, you'd never run
I thought you knew you can't choose
What trouble's coming after you
And can't you see
Ol' boy, that's half the fun

I won't trade my story
I won't trade my pain
There's fire that builds inside the battle
If you're here to rescue me
You're too late
I'm alright, I'm alright, I'm alright
I'm alright, I'm alright, I'm alright

I'm alright
I'm alright
I'm alright

Traigo conmigo historia
Mis luchas como una bandera
Enterrada en mi isla va mi corazón
Pero traigo conmigo candela
Traigo conmigo candela

I won't trade my story
I won't trade my pain
There's fire that builds inside the battle
If you're here to rescue me
You're too late
I'm alright, I'm alright, I'm alright
I'm alright, I'm alright, I'm alright

I'm alright, I'm alright
I'm alright
Can't you see I'm like my daddy
I'm alright, I'm alright, I'm alright
