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 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 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 man chu 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? Oh, yeah-e-yeah
