Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The smokestack spitting black soot into the sooty sky
The load on the road brings a tear to the Indian's eye
The elephant won't forget what it's like inside his cage
The ringmaster's Telecaster sings on an empty stage
[Chorus]
Uh-huh, goddamn right, it's a beautiful day
Uh-huh, goddamn right, it's a beautiful day
Uh-huh
[Verse 2]
The girl with the curls and the sweet pink ribbon in her hair
She's crawlin' out her window 'cause her daddy, he just don't care
Come on
[Chorus]
Uh-huh, goddamn right, it's a beautiful day
Uh-huh, goddamn right, it's a beautiful day
Uh-huh
[Verse 3]
The clown with the frown driving down to the sidewalk fair
Finger on the trigger, let me tell you, it is quite a scare
[Chorus]
Uh-huh, goddamn right, it's a beautiful day
Uh-huh, goddamn right, it's a beautiful day
Uh-huh
[Verse 4]
The kids flip their lids when their heads hear that crazy sound
My neighbor digs the flavor, still, he's moving to another town
And I don't believe he'll come back
[Chorus]
Goddamn right, it's a beautiful day
Uh-huh, goddamn right, it's a beautiful day
Uh-huh
[Verse 5]
Well, I don't know how you're taking all the shit you see
You don't believe anyone, but most of all, you don't believe me
Only you
[Chorus]
Goddamn right, it's a beautiful day (Only you)
Uh-huh, goddamn right, it's a beautiful day
Uh-huh, goddamn right, it's a beautiful day
Uh-huh, goddamn right, it's a beautiful day
Uh-huh
