It's a Great Day to Be Alive - 2006 Remastered Version

I got rice cooking 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 doing 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

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 every day 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 every day be just this good?

Oh, yeah-e-yeah
