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 doing alright
Yeah, I think I’ll make me some homemade soup
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 neigborhood
But why can’t every day be just this good?
It’s been fifteen years since I left home
Said good luck to every seed I’d sown
Give it my best and then I left it alone
Oh…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 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 neigborhood
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…
Ahwoo!
Ahwoo!
Well I might go get me a new tattoo
Or take my old Harley for a three day cruise
Might even grow me a Fu Man Chu…
Oh Aww!
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 neigborhood
But why can’t every day be just this good?
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 neigborhood
But why can’t every day be just this good?
Thanks for the pick me up.
Us old cranky vets need that every once in awhile…
Well sans the tats and feeling lonely, it sums up my feelings about most of my days…
Tis the gift to be simple.
Tis the gift to be free!
Amen
This has been a great Autumn this year with the mild weather. This song reflects how I felt yesterday, a cool day with blue sky and sunshine, when hiking thru the woods with my wife. We had a great day!
One of my all time favorites!
I just sent this to my son, and yes it is a great day to be alive, thanks!
Steven Crowder just interviewed him this week. Great guy!
Every morning that I put my feet on the ground is a great day and I’m certainly not shy about thanking Him.
It’s a Beautiful Day – White Bird

First, It’s a great day to be alive by Travis Tritt, than White Bird, one of my all time favorite songs from the late 60’s by It’s A Beautiful Day. In my garage in our first house someone who had lived there before us had stuck that album jacket on the inside wall and I left it there the whole time we lived there. And I noticed on the side that Tuesday Afternoon by the Moody Blues was listed on it so I listened to it as well, this is my all time favorite Moody Blues song. It’s going to be a great Tuesday and I have the day off as well. My daughter sometimes accuses me of being an old guy because I like these songs and say It’s either gonna be a beautiful day or a Wonderful World, another of my favorite songs by Louis Armstrong.
You’re welcome, brown shoe.
Have another hit… of fresh air. QMS

WIOT is back on the air!
The Rascals (1968):
It’s a beautiful mornin’
I think I’ll go outside a while,
An just smile.
Just take in some clean fresh air, boy
Ain’t no sense in stayin’ inside
If the weather’s fine and you got the time.
It’s your chance to wake up and plan another brand new day.
Either way,
It’s a beautiful mornin’

Tuesday Afternoon by the Moody Blues is an interesting song. Very different and kind of haunting. I’ve always liked it.
