It's A Great Day To Be Alive

I got rice cooking in the microwave I 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 Yeah I think I'll make me some home-made soup I'm feeling pretty good and that's the truth It's neither drink nor drug induced, no, I'm just doing alright And it's a great day to be alive I know the sun's still shining 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 been fifteen years since I left home I said good luck to every seed I'd sown Gave it my best and then I left it alone I hope they're doing alright Now I look in the mirror and what do I see A lone wolf there staring 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 shining 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 falling, desperately calling Howling at the moon, ah-ooh, ah-ooh Well, I might go get me a new tattoo Or take my old Harley for 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 shining When I close my eyes There's some hard times in the neighborhood But why can't every day be just this good And it's a great day to be alive I know the sun's still shining When I close my eyes There's some hard times in the neighborhood But why can't every day be just this good, ah-ooh, oh yeah
