Ben Rector - It's A Great Day To Be Alive Live From The Ryman

Текст песни

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
Hey I’m doing alright
I think I’ll make me some homemade soup
I’m feeling pretty good now and that’s the truth
It’s neither drink nor drug induced
I’m just doing alright
See 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
Said goodbye to every seed I’d sown
I did my best and then I left it alone
I’m just doing alright
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
I’m just doing alright
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 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!
I think I’ll get me a new tattoo
Or take my Harley for a three day cruise
Might even grow me a Fu Man Chu
Oh aww!
'Cause 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?
