It's a Great Day To Be Alive
Written by - Darrell Scott
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 
Feelin pretty good and that's the truth 
It's neither drink nor drug induced 
No I'm just doin alright

Chorus:
And it's a great day to be alive 
I know the sun's still shinin when I close my eyes 
There's some hard times 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 doin alright

Now I look in the mirror and what do I see?  
A lone wolf there starin back at me
Long in the tooth but harmless as can be
Lord I guess he's doin alright

Chorus

Sometimes it's lonely
Sometimes it's only me 
And the shadows that fill this room
Sometimes I'm fallin 
Desperately callin 
Howlin 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!

Chorus (2 x's)
