And it's a great day to be alive
But why can't every day be just this good?
And it's a great day to be alive
Desperately callin'
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
Sometimes it's lonely
There's some hard times in the neighborhood

Hey I'm doing alright
I know the sun's still shinin' when I close my eyes
Oh, I hope they're doin' alright
Sometimes it's only me
Said good luck to every seed I'd sown
Got a three day beard I don't plan to shave
I got rice cooking in the microwave
But why can't every day be just this good?
I know the sun's still shinin' when I close my eyes
Well I might go get me a new tattoo
Give it my best and then I left it alone
Or take my old Harley for a three day cruise
Songwriter: Darrell Scott
Feelin' pretty good and that's the truth
No I'm just doin' alright
Now I look in the mirror and what do I see?
There's some hard times in the neighborhood
There's some hard times in the neighborhood
It's a great day to be alive
Oh, yeah
There's some hard times in the neighborhood
Lord I guess he's doin' alright
Might even grow me a fu man chu
And it's a great day to be alive
Yeah I think I'll make me some homemade soup
Sometimes I'm fallin'
Oh, yeah-e-yeah
And it's a goofy thing but I just gotta say
I know the sun's still shinin' when I close my eyes
Long in the tooth but harmless as can be
But why can't every day be just this good?
A lone wolf there starin' back at me
Howlin' at the moon
It's been fifteen years since I left home
It's neither drink nor drug induced
