Talking Optimist Blues Good Day Today

Neil Diamond

Intro 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
