There was a time that I didn't have bread
No place to lay my head
I'm doin' all right now in this life
Four lovin' babies and a sweet little wife
I'm doin' all right now
People, and it ain't no dream
That handwriting on the wall
I know just what it means
Some people believe and some people don't
Some will have and some people won't
Some born happy and some born free
I don't care, I'm happy as I can be
I feel all right now
People, and it ain't no dream
That handwriting on the wall
I know just what it means
Ditches in the road that I got to hop
Hills to climb that I just can't stop
Bear my burdens in the heat of the day
Keep my chin up as I go 'long the way
I feel all right now
People, and it ain't no dream
That handwriting on the wall
I know just what it means
It's harder to rise than it is to fall
Hard to start than it is to stall
If you've never been that old underdog
You don't know what it means to be high on the hog
I feel all right now
People, and it ain't no dream
That handwriting on the wall
I know just what it means
I know the world wasn't made in one day
Whole lot of things ain't goin' my way
I don't care now in this life
I'm doin', I say, all right
I feel all right now
People, and it ain't no dream
That handwriting on the wall
I know just what it means
I know the world wasn't made in one day
I know that things ain't goin' my way
Whole lot of people don't think like me
'Cause they ain't had no misery
I feel all right now
People, and it ain't no dream
That handwriting on the wall
I know just what it means
It's gonna be one awful time
It's got to happen, don't let it worry your mind
First will be last and the last will be first
It's got to get better, it can't get no worse
I feel all right now
And it ain't no dream
That handwriting on the wall
I know just what it means
I feel all right now
I feel all right now
I feel all right
I feel all right
I feel all right
Sonny, I feel all right
I feel all right
I feel all right now
And it ain't no dream
That handwriting on the wall
I know just what it means
Go ahead, Sonny boy
I feel all right now
Well, I feel it ain't no dream
That handwriting on the wall
I know just what it means, yeah
