It's A Great Day to be Alive 

by Travis Tritt

I got rice cooking in the microwave

I got a three day beard I don't plan to shave

It's a goofy thing but I just gotta say, hey,

I'm doing alright

Yeah I think I'll make me some home-made soup

I'm feeling pretty good and that's the truth

It's neither drink nor drug induced, no,

I'm just doing alright

And it's a great day to be alive

I 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

It's been fifteen years since I left home

I said good luck to every seed I'd sown

Gave it my best and then I left it alone

I hope they're doing alright

Now I look in the mirror and what do I see

A lone wolf there staring 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 shining

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 falling, desperately calling

Howling at the moon, ah-ooh, ah-ooh

Well, I might go get me a new tattoo

Or take my old Harley for 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 shining

When I close my eyes

There's some hard times in the neighborhood

But why can't every day be just this good

And it's a great day to be alive

I 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, ah-ooh, oh yeah
