I got rice cookin^Ò in the microwave

Got a three day beard I don^Òt plan to shave

And it^Òs a goofy thing but I just gotta say
D G
^Óhey, I^Òm doin^Ò alright
G C G
I think I^Òll make me some homemade soup
D Em C
I^Òm feelin^Ò pretty good and that^Òs the truth
G D Em C
It^Òs neither drink nor drug induced
D G
No, I^Òm just doing alright

D Em
And it^Òs a great day to be alive
Am Am/B C D
You know the sun^Òs still shining when I close my eyes

But why can^Òt everyday be just this go-od.
