It's A Great Day To Be Alive

I got a rice cookin' 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 a-doin' alright

Yeah 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' 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?

Oh, yeah

It'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' alright

Now 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' 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

Ah-ooooooh

Ah-ooooooh

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

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?

Ah-ooooooh

Oh, yeah-e-yeah
