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 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 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
