Lyrics of
Talking Optimist Blues Good Day Today

verse 1
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 that I'm missin'
But despite it all, I'd like to say
Chorus
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
verse 2
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
Chorus
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
Break
verse 3
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
Chorus
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
Outro
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
