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 shining
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
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 doing alright
and it’s a great day to be alive
i know the sun’s still shining
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 falling desperately calling
howlin’ at the moon ahooh
break

well i might go get me a new tattoo
or take my old harley for a three day cruise
might even grow me a fumanchu
and it’s a great day to be alive
i know the sun’s still shining
when i close my eyes
there’s some hard times in the neighborhood
but why can’t every day be just this good
and it’s a great day to be alive
i know the sun’s still shining
when i close my eyes
there’s some hard times in the neighborhood
but why can’t every day be just this good
