Track from Phil's album The Essential Going Back, which features covers of 1960s Motown and soul standards.
Everything's alright, uptight, out of sight
Baby, everything's alright, uptight, out of sight
I'm a poor man's son from across the railroad track
Only shit I own is hanging on my back
But I'm the envy of every single guy
Since I'm alive for a remarkable time
When we go out stepping on the town floor
My money's low and my suit's out of style
But it's alright if my clothes are new
Outside, because my heart is true
She says, baby, everything is alright, uptight, out of sight
Baby, everything is alright, uptight, crazy out of sight
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
She's a pretty girl, I guess that's what you might say
I guess her folks bought her off that way
The right side of the track, she was born and raised
In a great big old house with a funny little name
She says, no one is better than I
I know I'm just an average guy
No football hero or smooth on wine
Got empty pockets, you see, I'm a poor man's son
Can't give a thing, don't want no money, can't buy
But I never, never, never made my lady cry
Cause it's alright, I can do it
Outside, because my heart is true
She says, baby, everything is alright, uptight, out of sight
Baby, everything is alright, uptight, crazy out of sight
Baby, everything is alright, uptight, yeah, hey, hey
Baby, everything is alright, uptight, crazy out of sight
Baby, everything is all right
