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

And it's a goofy thing but I just gotta say, hey

I'ma doing alright

Yeah, I think I'll make me some homemade soup

I'm feeling pretty good and that's the truth

It's neither drink nor drug induced, no

I'm just doing alright

And it's a great day to be alive

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

There's some hard times in the neighborhood

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

Ah, yeah

It's been fifteen years since I left home

And said good luck to every seed I'd sown

Gave it my best and then I left it alone

I hope they're doing alright

Now I look in the mirror and what do I see?

A lone wolf there staring back at me

Long in the tooth but harmless as can be

Lord, I guess he's doing alright

And it's a great day to be alive

I know the sun's still shining 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 falling, desperately calling

Howling at the moon

Ah-ooh

Ah-ooh

Yeah, yeah

Uh-huh

Well, I might go get me a new tattoo

Or take my old Harley for a three day cruise

Might even grow me a fu manchu, oh, ah

And it's a great day to be alive

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

There's some hard times in the neighborhood

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

Ah-ooh

Whoa, yeah, yeah
