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

[Verse 2]

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 3]

It's been fifteen years since I left home

And said good luck to every seed I'd sown

Gave 'em my best 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

[Instrumental]

One more big howl now, ah-ooh

[Verse 4]

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?

[PostChorus]

One more howl at the moon now

Ah-ooh

[Instrumental]

Mr. Darrell Scott, y'all
