SONG MEANING: The lyrics of "All Right Now" tell a direct and straightforward story about attraction and successfully approaching someone new. The singer sees an attractive woman ("There she stood in the street / Smilin' from her head to her feet"), confidently strikes up a conversation, and successfully invites her to come home with him ("'Let's move before they raise the parking rate'... Took her home to my place"). It's a simple narrative of picking someone up.
