Talking Optimist Blues (Good Day Today)

I got worries by the ton

Gettin' cancer's only one

Overtaxed and alimonied

Tired of eatin' fried baloney

I got burdens on my shoulders

Dying young or growin' older

There's some brain cells I'm missin'

But despite it all, I'd like to say

I'm gonna have a good day today

Gonna have a good time anyway

Put it all behind me, lay it all away

Gonna be a good day today

Bills and pills and former wives

Past mistakes and former lives

Bank account is overdrawn

Out of Prozac, hairline's gone

Hearing voices in my head

Say I should've stayed in bed

Dog just died, but what the heck

Nothing worse can happen anyway

So,

I'm gonna have a good day today

Me,

I'm gonna have a good time anyway

Put it all behind me, lay it all away

Gonna be a good day today

Pulled my back and wrecked my car

Girlfriend stole my VCR

Letter came from Sixty Minutes

Say they wanna put me in it

Tell me my career just died

Years ago I might've cried

Now I'm just too old to do it

May be true, but screw it anyway

Me,

I'm gonna have a good day today

And

I'm gonna have a good time anyway

Put it all behind me, lay it all away

Gonna be a good day today

Hey,

I'm gonna have a good day today

Me,

I'm gonna have a good time anyway

Put it all behind me, lay it all away

Gonna be a good day today
