It's a Great Day to Be Alive

Might even grow me a fu man chu
But why can't every day be just this good?

Or take my old Harley for a three day cruise
And it's a great day to be alive

There's some hard times in the neighborhood

I know the sun's still shinin' when I close my eyes

Said good luck to every seed I'd sown

There's some hard times in the neighborhood
Howlin' at the moon
But why can't every day be just this good?
I know the sun's still shinin' when I close my eyes
And it's a great day to be alive
It's been fifteen years since I left home
Oh, I hope they're doin' alright
There's some hard times in the neighborhood
Yeah I think I'll make me some homemade soup
I know the sun's still shinin' when I close my eyes
But why can't every day be just this good?
And the shadows that fill this room

But why can't every day be just this good?
I know the sun's still shinin' when I close my eyes
Desperately callin'

A lone wolf there starin' back at me
No I'm just doin' alright
Feelin' pretty good and that's the truth
Long in the tooth but harmless as can be
There's some hard times in the neighborhood
It's a great day to be alive

And it's a great day to be alive
Sometimes I'm fallin'
Well I might go get me a new tattoo
Give it my best and then I left it alone
Lord I guess he's doin' alright
Sometimes it's lonely
Oh, yeah
And it's a goofy thing but I just gotta say

Hey I'm doing alright
Sometimes it's only me
It's neither drink nor drug induced
Now I look in the mirror and what do I see?
