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'm doing alrightYeah I think I'll make me some homemade soup

Feelin' pretty good and that's the truth

It's neither drink nor drug induced

No I'm just doin' alrightAnd 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, yeahIt's been fifteen years since I left home

Said good luck to every seed I'd sown

Give it my best and then I left it alone

Oh, I hope they're doin' alrightNow I 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 guess he's doin' alrightAnd 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 roomSometimes I'm fallin'

Desperately callin'

Howlin' at the moonWell I might go get me a new tattoo

Or take my old Harley for a three day cruise

Might even grow me a fu man chuAnd 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-e-yeah
