Story Behind The Song
I have a good friend who was going through some health issues and I asked how he was and he said "hey, you know, I'm ok...this too shall pass." Tim's first 3 line starters and this exchange with my friend inspired this song.

Lyrics
Hey Hey I'm OK
V1
I got a worn out wallet, but i can't say what for
When i slip money in it, it flies right out the door
The credit cards are for show, yeah, we all know why
And my picture ID is of a much younger guy
But hey hey...I'm ok
V2
I work a poor man's job, but I like what I do
Got some real good friends, who really like me too
No fancy car, big house, but a roof over me
And when I look in the mirror I like the fellow I see
Say hey hey...You're ok
Chorus
I don't care if dark cloud's
Are hangin' over my head
That don't mean i'm giving up
Not getting' outta my bed
The sun always rises, and that's a fact
So when the sun comes up, I get off my back
Singing Hey Hey Hey...Hey Hey...I'm ok
INSTRUMENTAL
Chorus
No, I don't care if dark cloud's
Are hangin' over my head
That don't mean i'm giving up
Not getting' outta my bed
The sun always rises, and that's a fact
So when that sun comes up, I get off my back
V3
I don't talk 'bout God or politics
'Tho I got to believe that there is more than this
It's a waste of time to always bitch bitch bitch
And I know it ain't money that makes a man rich
So hey hey...I'm ok
Mini Chorus Out
Yeah, the sun always rises, and that's a fact
So when the sun comes up, I get off my back
Sayin' Hey Hey Hey...Hey Hey ..You know, I'm ok...
