Artist  : Neil Diamond 
Song : Talking Optimistic Blues (Good Day Today)
 


Written by: Neil Diamond and Gretchen
Peters

I got worries by the ton
Getting
Kansas 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 estates and former lives
Bank
account is overdrawn
Had a ??? and hairline's
gone
Hearing voices in my head
Saying I
should have stayed in bed
Doc 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 me 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
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
