Neil Diamond - Talking optimist (Good day today) lyrics

Artist : Neil Diamond

Title : Talking optimist (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.

Girl-friend stole my V.C.R.

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.]
