[Verse 1]
I got rice cooking in the microwave
A three-day beard I don't plan to shave
And it's a goofy thing but I just gotta say
I'm, I'm doing alright
I think I'll make me some homemade soup
I'm feeling pretty good now and that's the truth, yeah
It's neither drink nor drug induced
I'm just doing alright

[Chorus]
See, it's a great day to be alive
You know the sun's still shining when I close my eyes
There's some hard times in the neighborhood
But why can't every day be just this good?

[Verse 2]
It's been fifteen years since I left home
I said goodbye to every seed I'd sown, yeah
I did my best and thеn I left it alone
I'm just doing alright
I look in the mirror and what do I see?
A lonе wolf there staring back at me, yeah
Long in the tooth but harmless as can be, yeah
I'm just doing alright, here we go!
[Chorus]
It's a great day to be alive
You know the sun's still shining when I close my eyes
There's some hard times in the neighborhood
But why can't every day be just this good?

[Bridge]
Sometimes it's lonely
Sometimes it's only me and the shadows that fill this room
Sometimes I'm falling, desperately calling
Howling at the moon (Awoo!)
Yeah!
That was good!
I forgot the rest of the words
I think I'll get me a new tattoo
Or take my Harley for a three-day cruise, yeah
Might even grow me a Fu Manchu (Oh!)
You guys got that?

[Chorus]
'Cause it's a great day to be alive
You know the sun's still shining when I close my eyes
There's some hard times in the neighborhood
But why can't every day be just this good?

[Outro]
Yeah
Yeah, give it up for Austin Goodloe, everybody!
