That's Alright Lyrics

Meet me down by the railway station
I've been awaiting... I'm through waiting for youT
The train sings the same kind of blues

Well I don't know why I always trusted
Sometimes I think I must have....I must have been crazy
Crazy to wait on you baby

I turned around and got pushed down, baby
Now I decided yesterday that I would leave you
I'm alright.........

CHORUS:
Please...I've been takin' my time
You know, it's been on my mind
I hope you find a love
Your own designs of love
That's alright.....
That's alright

I believe....I believe that I know you
But we've been a long time,
and now I've got to show you that I...
Well, I never did beleive in time
You know...changin' anybody's mind

Now I can't define love like it should be
That's alright....
That's alright....

(repeat chorus)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

What the HELL. How does this song have no comments?! It has to be one of my all-time favorites and one of Stevie's best too, lyrically and vocally. There's a lot of weariness here and it's really heartbreaking; what used to be reliable and constant in her life is failing her-- her trust in him, her ideas of what love is, etc. and now their relationship is over, she's done with it. Hopefully I'm not the only one who finds this song amazing!

I have never found Stevie's comments about this one but I think that this song is like an early version of "Landslide". But while in "Landslide" she's singing that she decides to give both music and Lindsley second chance, in "That's Alright" she's singing that she wants to give up it all. But these are only my speculations.
