2013年美国好声音 It’s a Great Day To Be Alive - Austin Jenckes

I got rice cookin' 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 doin' alright

Yeah I think I'll

Make me some homemade soup

I'm feelin' pretty good
And that's the truth
It's neither drink

Nor drug induced  no

I'm just doin' alright
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 neighborhood

But why can't everyday
Be just this good

It's been 15 years
Since I left home
And said good luck to
Every seed I'd sown

Gave it my best and then

I left it alone

I hope they're doin' alright
Now I look in the mirror

And what do I see
A lone¹ wolf there

Starin' back at me

Long in the tooth
But harmless as can be
Lord I guess he's doin' alright

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 neighborhood
But why can't everyday
Be just this good

Sometimes it lonely

Sometimes it's only me

And the shadows
That fill this room
Sometimes I'm fallin'

Desperately² callin'

Howlin' at the moon
Ah-ooh ah-ooh

Well I might go get me a new tattoo³

Or take my old Harley

For a three day cruise

Might even grow me a Fu Man Chu

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 neighborhood
[02:40.56]But why can't everyday

Be just this good
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 neighborhood

But why can't everyday be just this good

Yeah yeah ah-ooh

This good  yeah yeah ah-ooh
Just this good
