I got a half of six pack of old Milwalkee and a half a bag of weed,
I can't do it like I did when I was a kid this is all I'm gonna need,
because I know you always worried bout me drinking my dinner but I don't do that anymore,
I got me a sweet girl at home she keeping food on the table and at night she keeps me warm
So I got me this piece of paper
and I've got my favorite pen I know it's been a little while and talkings not my style so I'll just have to write my friends.
Hey I'm doing alright, mama I'm ok, I know your late night talks with Jesus have helped me on my way.
I know it wasn't always easy raising my father's son.
And your son will be alright if the shows keep coming,
this old guitar and me I'm still strumming.
I know you always knew I always took it way too far.
But I'm doing alright now Mama,
I'm doing alright now Mama,
I'm doing alright now Mama, I'm doing ok.
Do you remember the time when I was stuck in LA, yeah I didn't have a job and I didn't have a way to pay the bills that I'd racked up, yeah you kept me from losing my truck.
Hey I'm a little better off now than I was then but it's sure nice to see you calling me when I'm out there on the road yeah you call in to say have a good show.
Well hey I'm doing alright mama, I'm ok I know your late night talks with Jesus have helped me on my way.
I know it wasn't always easy raising my father's son.
And your son will be alright if the shows keep coming, this old guitar and me I'm still strumming.
I know you always knew I always took it way too far.
I'm doing all right now mama, I'm doing all right now mama, I'm doing all right now mama, I'm doing ok.
