Lyric Alright For An Hour

(Rod Stewart, Jessie Ed Davis, 1975/76)

Oh, didn t I mess around like ev rybody did?
I said, " Woman, you re foolin around with a man that just don t fit."
I said, "I d better get along before I get right under your skin."
Remember the song, wasn t it fun, cause it was just one of those things.

But it was alright for an hour; it was alright for a day.
But it did not last, it did not last till the weekend,
and I packed my bags and moved right away.

I said goodbye to money, I don t owe no alimony.
I paid my dues and payroll cues, gonna leave it all up to you.
I ll take my dog and my car, the best friends I ve found so far,
and I ll keep goin with the mornin sun, singin the same old song.

But it was alright for an hour; it was alright for a day.
But it did not last, it did not last till the weekend,
and I packed my bags and moved right away.

Well I guess you needed somebody to open each and ev ry door
With a large amount in the Swiss account to give you thrills and nothing more.
But my Volkswagen is hardly a custom built Ferarri.
You want firstclass but I pump gas, so I ll get on out of your way.

But it was alright for an hour; it was alright for a day.
But it did not last, it did not last till the weekend,
and I packed my bags and moved right away.
It was alright for an hour; it was alright for a day.
But it did not last, it did not last till the weekend,
and I packed my bags and moved right away.
