Neil Diamond - Talking Optimistic Blues (Good Day Today) - Текст песни

Words and Music by Neil Diamond and Gretchen Peters
 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.
