It's a Great Day to Be Alive - Travis Tritt

I got rice cooking in the microwave Got a three-day beard I don't plan to shave It's a goofy thing but I just gotta say "Hey, I'm doing alright" I think I'll make me some homemade soup Feelin' pretty good and that's the truth, yeah It's neither drink or 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 hard times in the neighborhood But why can't every day 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 Oh, I hope they're doin' alright Look in the mirror and what do I see? A lone wolf there starin' back at me, yeah Long in the tooth but harmless as can be Lord, I hope 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 hard times in the neighborhood But why can't every day be just this good? Sometimes it's lonely Sometimes it's only me And the shadows that fill this room Sometimes I'm fallin' Desperately callin' Howlin' at the moon, ah-ooh Woo Might go get me a new tattoo Take my old Jeep for a three-day cruise Might even grow me a Fu Manchu And it's a great day to be alive I know the sun's still shinin' when I close my eyes There's hard times in the neighborhood Why can't every day 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 hard times in the neighborhood But why can't every day be just this good? Ah-ooh Ah-ooh, yeah Hey Oh, yeah Yeah, yeah

Sometimes you wonder if We're ever looking back At a picture of 2019 And saying, "That's the way, the world, it used to be Before our dreams started bursting at the seams" We're out here and we're ready We're here and we're ready To livestream the apocalypse I don't care if it's dirty The view's so pretty From the deck of a sinking ship Yeah, oh 'Cause everything is lit except my serotonin, yeah Everything is lit but my lightning bolt brain Everything is lit But, baby please, I just need someone to hold me Even though you don't even know me Oh, I'm going neon in the night time Oh What a time to be alive What a time to be alive What a time to be alive What a time to be alive They say that I should try meditation But I don't want to be with my own thoughts It never felt that much like medication And I just want to be your cherry on top We're out here and we're ready We're here and we're ready To livestream the apocalypse And I'm going on and on and on Make me like a charm on your necklace Oh, your necklace Oh, 'cause everything is lit except my serotonin, yeah Everything is lit but my lightning bolt brain Everything is lit But, baby please, I just need someone to hold me Even though you don't even know me Ooh, I'm going neon in the night time Oh What a time to be alive What a time to be alive What a time to be alive What a time to be alive What a time to be alive To be alive When, when When I said, "Leave me alone" This isn't quite what I meant I got the quarantine blues Bad news, what's left?

(Writers: Jay Livingston, Ray Evans) City sidewalks, busy sidewalks, Dressed in holiday style, In the air there's a feeling of Christmas. Children laughing, people passing, Meeting smile after smile, And on every street corner you hear. Silver bells, silver bells, It's Christmastime in the city. Hear the bells go ding-a-ling, hear them ring, Soon it will be Christmas day. Strings of street lights, even stop lights Blink a bright red and green As the shoppers rush home with their treasures. Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch, This is Santa's big scene, And above all this bustle you hear. Silver bells, silver bells, It's Christmastime in the city. Hear the bells go ding-a-ling, hear them ring, Soon it will be Christmas day...

Well, I'm a runnin' down the road, tryin' to loosen my load, I've got seven women on my mind: Four that wanna own me, two that wanna stone me, One says she's a friend of mine.

I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me. We may lose and we may win though we will never be here again. So open up, I'm climbin' in, so take it easy. Well, I'm a runnin' down the road, tryin' to loosen my load, Got a world of trouble on my mind. Lookin' for a lover who won't blow my cover, She's so hard to find. Take it easy, take it easy, Don't let the sound of your own wheels make you crazy. Come on, baby, don't say maybe. I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me.
