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 (that's the truth)
Ain't 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?

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 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, 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, whoa

Yeah, 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 every day be just this good? (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
Oh, just this good
Just this good, ohh
