It’s a Great Day to Be Alive (live at Fenway Park, Boston, MA, 06.16.2018)

Y'all welcome, Mr. Darrell Scott

Thank you

I got rice cooking in the microwave

I got a three-day beard I don't plan to shave

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

Hey man, I'm doin' alright

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

I'm feeling pretty good and that's the gospel 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 shining when I close my eyes

It's 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 sowed

Gave 'em my best then I left 'em alone

Oh, I hope they're doin' alright

Well, red bird, red bird, now what do you see?

I see a lone wolf staring back at me

Long in the tooth, but harmless as a tree

Oh, I guess he's doin' alright

And it's a great day to be alive

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

It's hard times in the neighborhood

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

Sometimes it's lonesome

Sometimes it's only me

And all of the shadows that fill this room

Sometimes I'm fallin'

Desperately callin'

And howlin' at the moon

Come on, give us a big howl

Ah-woo

One more big howl now

Ah-woo

Well, it's a colorful life that we go through

It's neither black or white, nor just shades of blue, now

Maybe I'll grow me a Fu Manchu

Yeah, it's a great day to be alive

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

It's hard times in the neighborhood

But why, why, why

It's a great day to be alive

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

It's hard times in the neighborhood

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

One more howl at the moon now
