great day to be alive

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

i 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 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 everyday 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-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 manchu

well 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

oh just this good
