No I'm just doin' alright
But why can't every day be just this good?
Feelin' pretty good and that's the truth
There's some hard times in the neighborhood
But why can't every day be just this good?
And it's a goofy thing but I just gotta say
And it's a great day to be alive
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
Said good luck to every seed I'd sown
A lone wolf there starin' back at me
Or take my old Harley for a three day cruise
Well I might go get me a new tattoo
Sometimes it's lonely
There's some hard times in the neighborhood
Might even grow me a fu man chu
Oh, yeah-e-yeah
Yeah I think I'll make me some homemade soup

I know the sun's still shinin' when I close my eyes
Sometimes it's only me
Got a three day beard I don't plan to shave
There's some hard times in the neighborhood
Hey I'm doing alright
But why can't every day be just this good?
Oh, yeah
But why can't every day be just this good?
I know the sun's still shinin' when I close my eyes
Now I look in the mirror and what do I see?
It's neither drink nor drug induced
I know the sun's still shinin' when I close my eyes
I know the sun's still shinin' when I close my eyes
And the shadows that fill this room
And it's a great day to be alive
Long in the tooth but harmless as can be
Desperately callin'
Howlin' at the moon
Give it my best and then I left it alone
I got rice cooking in the microwave
Lord I guess he's doin' alright
It's a great day to be alive
Sometimes I'm fallin'
There's some hard times in the neighborhood
