Neil Diamond - Talking Optimistic Blues (Good Day Today) lyrics

I got worries by the ton

Getting cancers's only one

Over Taxed and Alimony

Tired of eating fried baloney

I got burdens on my shoulders

Dying young and growing older

There's some brain cells I'm missing

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, hairlines gone

Hearing voices in my head

Said I should have 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

Saying they wanna put me in it

Tell 'em my career just died

Years ago I might have cried

Now I'm just too old to do it

Maybe true but screw it anyway

Me' I'm gonna have a good day today

And I'm gonna have a good time anyway
