Talking Optimist Blues


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 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

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
