Lyrics:

There she stood in the street
Smiling from her head to her feet
I said hey, what is this
Now baby, maybe she’s in need of a kiss
I said hey, what’s your name baby
Maybe we can see things the same
Now don’t you wait or hesitate
Let’s move before they raise the parking rate

All right now, baby, it’s all right now
All right now, baby, it’s all right now

I took her home to my place
Watching every move on her face
She said look, what’s your game baby
Are you tryin’ to put me in shame?
I said “slow don’t go so fast,
Don’t you think that love can last?”
She said, “Love? Lord above.
Now you’re tryin’ to trick me in love”

I said, “slow don’t go so fast,
Don’t you think that love can last?”
She said, “Love? Lord above.
Now you’re tryin’ to trick me in love”

All right now, baby, it’s all right now
All right now, baby, it’s all right now

Yeah, it’s all right now
Oh yeah

Let me tell you all about now
Took her home to my place
Watching every move on her face
She said look, what’s your game
Are you tryin’ to put me in shame?
Baby, I said, “slow don’t go so fast
Don’t you think that love can last?
She said love, Lord above
Now he’s tryin’ to trick me in love

All right now, baby, it’s all right now
All right now, baby, it’s all right now

All right now, baby, it’s all right now
All right now baby, baby, baby it’s all right now
All right now, baby, it’s all right now
All right now, baby, it’s all right now
(All right now baby, it’s all right now) We are so happy together it’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright
(Everything alright) all right now, baby, it’s all right now

In honor of today’s sunny, spring-like weather here in the armpit of the Midwest, we here at Dances With Bass Radio are featuring an anthemic song—a song that is perfect for a high-speed, windows down, sunroof open rip through town—coppers be damned!

Free was an English rock band formed in 1968 by Paul Rodgers (who would later go on to fame with Bad Company, The Firm, and Queen). While they produced several solid records, they only reached the charts once—their signature track, All Right Now. Free broke up in 1973, freeing Rodgers for an illustrious career as one of rock’s leading frontmen. The other members of the band went on to form lesser known bands. Lead guitarist Paul Kossoff died from drug-induced heart failure in 1976.

More cowbell, my babies! More cowbell!
