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, yeah 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 hard times in the neighborhood But why can't every day be just this good? It's been 15 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 Oh, I hope they're doin' alright Look in the mirror and what do I see? A lone wolf there starin' back at me, yeah 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 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, ah-ooh Woo 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 hard times in the neighborhood 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 hard times in the neighborhood But why can't every day be just this good? Ah-ooh Ah-ooh, yeah Hey Oh, yeah Yeah, yeah
