Alright For Now
Tom Petty · Full Moon Fever [1989]
may god watch over you from above
tomorrow im working what would i do
i would be lost and lonely if not for you
so close your eyes
we're alright for now
i've spent my life traveling
ive spent my life free
I could not repay all you've done for me
so sleep tight baby, unfurrow your brow
and know I love you
we're alright for now
We're alright for now
