Lyrics

[Intro] Y'all welcome Mr. Darrell Scott Thank you [Verse 1] I got rice cookin' in the microwave I got a three day beard I don't plan to shave And it's a goofy thing but I just gotta say, hey man, I'm doin' alright Well, I think I'll make me some homemade soup I'm feelin' pretty good and that's the gospel 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 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 And said good luck to еvery seed I'd sown Gave 'em my bеst then I left 'em alone Oh, I hope they're doin' alright Well, red bird, red bird, now what do you see? I see a lone wolf there starin' back at me Long in the tooth but harmless as a tree Oh, I guess he's doing alright [Chorus] 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? [Bridge] Sometimes it's lonesome, and sometimes it's only me And all of the shadows that fill this room Sometimes I'm falling, desperately calling And howlin' at the moon, come on, give us a big howl, ah-ooh One more big howl now, ah-ooh [Verse 3] Well, it's a colorful life that we go through It's neither black and white, nor just shades of blue now Maybe I'll grow me a Fu-Manchu [Chorus] Yeah, 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, why, why 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? [Post-Chorus] One more howl at the moon now Ah-ooh [Outro] Mr. Darrell Scott, y'all
