Shape I'm In

The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
I've got a number on a napkin, a poundin' in my head Takes everything I've got to crawl out of bed I lost a hell of a woman, freedom caught me on the chin But I'm doin' alright for the shape I'm in. The sun came up again this morning. I got a call from a long lost friend. Planned us a little road trip down to New Orleans. It ain't much but it beats where I've been. Yea I'm doin' alright, I'm doin' alright, I'm doin' alright for the shape I'm in. Well I'm gettin' better at barely gettin' by When I look at her picture I don't break down and cry. And all this time on my hands it's gettin' easier to spend Cause I'm doin' alright for the shape I'm in. The sun came up again this morning, I took my old fastback for a spin. Now when it rains it ain't always pouring And I'm learning how to live again Yea I'm doin' alright, I'm doin' alright, I'm doin' alright for the shape I'm in. Yea I'm doin' alright, Yes I'm doin' alright, Yea I'm doin' alright for the shape I'm in. Yes I'm doin' alright, Yea I'm doin' alright, Yea I'm doin' alright for the shape I'm in.
