Hell No (I'm Not Alright) [Live] Songtext
von Nanci Griffith

This is a song that we just, we just, uh, recorded for the new record
And it′s a, it's a little song that everybody can relate to, I′m sure
And it's called "Hell No, I'm Not Alright"

Hell no, I′m not alright
You can talk all day and ask all night
Nothing′s gonna change, no end in sight
Hell no, I'm not alright

Did you really think it would be okay
To leave me stranded alone that day?
Did you really think you could wait so long
To call me up to see if you′re alright?

Hell no, I'm not alright
You can talk all day and ask all night
Nothing′s gonna change, no end in sight
Hell no, I'm not alright

You′re on the phone when I'm alone
And when you're alone, you′re all alone
I′m still gone, it's all the same
I′m taking notes, and I'm naming names


Hell no, I′m not alright
You can talk all day and ask all night
Nothing's gonna change, no end in sight
Hell no, I′m not alright

I'm the one to get you to forget
That the one who's gone, is gone, is gone
Am I suppose to say you′re okay
′Cause we're not okay, and you′re not okay

Hell no, I'm not alright
You can talk all day, you can ask all night
Nothing′s gonna change, no end in sight
Hell no, I'm not alright

Hell no, I′m not alright
You can talk all day and ask all night
Nothing's gonna change, no end in sight
Hell no, I'm not alright
Hell no, I′m not alright
Hell no, I′m not alright

Call your Congressman and tell 'em
"Hell no, you′re not alright"
Thank you
Nancy Griffith
