Well I've strolled across some dance floors filled with girls all dressed in red
Pulled my foot from my mouth, answer back the things i've said.
Wander through the valley of the shadow of the dead
Stumbled on this old sun dial, then these words I read.
I only count the sunny hours, brightest hours of day.
I never count the gloomy hours I let them slip away
. And I realize I'm away.

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
I'm alright ya'all.
Alright y'all.
Ya want to be alright you gotta walk tall.
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
I'm alright y'all.
Alright y'all.

Ya want to be alright you gotta walk tall.
Well I woke up in to many beds with girls I didn't know.
I seen lots of brothers at top and I watched them come & go,
Tell me why I'm not dead with them in the valley down below.

I give thanks everyday for these words they save my soul.
I only count the sunny hours, brightest hours of day.
I never count the gloomy hours I let them slip away. And I realize I'm away.

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah I'm alright ya'all.
Alright y'all.
Ya want to be alright you gotta walk tall.
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
I'm alright y'all.
Alright y'all.

It's like the wise man said relax yourself
When it's movin' too fast set it down
When the goin' gets tough it gets you goin'
If ya really want to speak then make a sound
Keep your eyes on the prize and realize

That the trouble's gonna come in all shapes and sizes
Well ya gotta stay strong don't let your knees buckle
Ya gotta keep hustlin', keep hustlin', movin', groovin'
That's the lovin' that's the lovin' come back to me...

I'm not too familiar with their music but I did get a chance to catch them at a festival years ago.

Not too shabby of a band if I remember correctly.

They are Sublime minus Bradley Nowell.
After he died they did not feel right about using that band name anymore. So they became LBDA. They actually use samples of Brads voice in this song, since he had recorded some parts before his death.

Sublime is one of my all-time top bands.
And this song has always meant a lot to me, because of the lyrics. The instrumental is good, but its the lyrics that speak to me.
