It's a Great Day To Be Alive Songtext
von Lee Matthews

I got the 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, I'm doin' alright

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
So, why can′t every day, be just this good?

It's been fifteen years, since I left home
I said good luck, to every seed I′ve sown
Gave it my best, and then I left it alone
Oh, I hope they're doin′ alright


Now, I'll look in the mirror, and what do I see
A lone wolf there, staring back at me
Long in 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
So, why can′t every day, be just this good?

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

Hey, 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
So, why can't every day, be just this good?

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
So, why can′t every day, be just this good
