"I'm a poor man's son from across the railroad tracks
The only shirt I own is hanging on my back
But I'm the envy of every single guy
Since I'm the apple of my girl's eye"
The "narrator" of the song is the son of a poor man and all of the other guys are jealous because a girl is still attracted to him, even though he is so poor.
"When we go out stepping on the town
For a while my money's low and my suit's out of style
But it`s all right if my clothes aren't new
Out of sight because my heart is true
She says baby everything is all right
Uptight, out of sight
Baby, everything is all right
Uptight, clean out of sight"
Even though his money is low and his clothes are out of style, his girl says "everything's alright" because his heart is true, and nothing else matters to her.
"Baby, everything is all right
Uptight, out of sight
I'm a pearl of a girl
I guess that's what you might say
I guess her folks brought her up that way
The right side of the tracks
She was born and raised
In a great big old house full of butlers and maids
She says give her the things
That money can buy but I'll never
Never never make my baby cry
And it's all right
What if I can't do
Out of sight because my heart is true
She says baby everything is all right
Uptight, clean out of sight
Baby, everything is all right
Uptight, clean out of sight"
His girl grew up rich, in a big house with butler and maids. She says that he gives her things that money can't buy, such as love, so it doesn't matter.
Great song by Stevie. Always puts me in a good mood. :)
