"IT'S A GREAT DAY TO BE ALIVE" lyrics

I got rice cooking in the microwave
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"

I think I'll make me some homemade soup
Feelin' pretty good and that's the truth
It's neither drink or 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?

It's been fifteen years since I left home
Said good luck to every seed I'd sown
Gave it my best and then I left it alone
Oh, I hope they're doin' alright

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 hope 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

I might go get me a new tattoo
Take my old Jeep for a three day cruise
Might even grow me a Fu Manchu

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
Yeah, yeah
