IT'S A GREAT DAY TO BE ALIVE

I got rice cooking in the microwave

Got a three day beard I don't plan to shave

It's a goofy thing but I just gotta say

"Hey I'm doing alright"

I think I'll make me some homemade soup

Feelin' pretty good and that's the truth

It's neither drink or drug induced

No I'm just doin' alright

And it's a great day to be alive

I know the sun's still shinin' when I close my eyes

There's some hard times in the neighborhood

But why can't every day be just this good?

It's been fifteen years since I left home

Said good luck to every seed I'd sown

Gave it my best and then I left it alone

Oh, I hope they're doin' alright

Look in the mirror and what do I see?

A lone wolf there starin' back at me

Long in the tooth but harmless as can be

Lord I hope he's doin' alright

And it's a great day to be alive

I know the sun's still shinin' when I close my eyes

There's some hard times in the neighborhood

But why can't every day be just this good?

Sometimes it's lonely

Sometimes it's only me

And the shadows that fill this room

Sometimes I'm fallin'

Desperately callin'

Howlin' at the moon

I might go get me a new tattoo

Take my old Jeep for a three day cruise

Might even grow me a Fu Manchu

And it's a great day to be alive

I know the sun's still shinin' when I close my eyes

There's some hard times in the neighborhood

But why can't every day be just this good?

It's a great day to be alive

I know the sun's still shinin' when I close my eyes

There's some hard times in the neighborhood

But why can't every day be just this good?

Oh, yeah

Yeah, yeah
