  • 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

    Yeah, I'm doin' alright
    I'm doin' alright
    I'm doin' alright for the shape I'm in (yeah)

    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

    Yeah, I'm doin' alright
    I'm doin' alright
    I'm doin' alright for the shape I'm in (yeah)

    Yeah, I'm doin' alright
    Yes, I'm doin' alright
    Yeah, I'm doin' alright for the shape I'm in

    Yes, I'm doin' alright
    Yeah, I'm doin' alright
    Yeah, I'm doin' alright for the shape I'm in Writer/s: Ben Hayslip, Dallas Davidson, Rhett Akins
