 I Got Rice  cooking in the microwave  got a three  day beard I don't

 good and thats  the truth  its neither drink  nor drug  induced no  Im just
doin  alright
 (Chorus)
And  Its a great day to be alive  I know the suns  still shinin  when I
close  my eyes  theres some hard times  in the neigborhood  but why  can't
 every day  be just  this good?  *Use Em when going to bridge 1

 Its been 15 years since I left home said good luck to every seed I'd
 sown, give it my best and then I left it alone ohhh I hope their doin
 alright. Now I look in the mirror and what do I see? A lone wolf there
 starin back at me, long in the tooth but harmless as can be, lord I
 guess hes doin alright
 (Chorus)
 (Bridge 1)
Sometimes  its lonely,  sometimes its only me  and the shadows that fill
 this room,  sometimes Im fallin  desperately callin howlin  at the  moon
Ahhhwwoooooo!  Ahhhwooooooo!
 (Bridge 2)
 Well I might  go get me a new tatoo  or take  my old harley for a three
 day cruise might  even grow  me a fu  man chu,  ohh Aww!
