It's a Great Day to Be Alive (2006 Remaster)

I got 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 doin' alright

Yeah I think I'll make me some homemade soup

I'm 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 everyday be just this good

It's been 15 years since I left home

And said good luck to every seed I'd sown

gave it my best and then I left it alone

I hope they're doin' alright

Now I look in teh 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 everyday be just this good

Sometimes it lonely, sometimes it's only me

And the shadows that fill this room

Sometimes I'm fallin', desperately callin'

Howlin' at the moon, ah-ooh

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 everyday 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 everyday be just this good
