It's A Great Day To Be Alive

I got a 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 a-doin' alright
 Yeah I think I'll make me some homemade soup
 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 every day be just this good?
 Oh, yeah
 It's been fifteen years since I left home
 Said good luck to every seed I'd sown
 Give it my best and then I left it alone
 Oh, 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-ooooooh
 
 Ah-ooooooh
 ♪
 Yeah, yeah
 Uh huh
 
 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
 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?
