I got rice cooking 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 
Hey I'm doing alright 

Yeah, I think I'll make me some homemade soup 
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 a hard time in the neigborhood 
But why can't every day be just this good?

It's been fifteen years since I left home 
Said good luck to every seed I'd sown
Give it my best and then I left it alone 
Oh, I hope their 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 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 a hard times in the neigborhood 
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
Ahwoo!
Ahwoo!

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
Oh Aww!

And it's a great day to be alive 
I know the sun's still shining when I close my eyes 
There's a hard time in the neigborhood 
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 a hard time in the neigborhood 
But why can't every day be just this good?
