Neil Diamond - Talking Optimistic Blues Lyrics
Written by: neil diamond and gretchen petersI got worries by the tonGetting kansas only oneOver taxed and alimonyTired of eating fried baloneyI got burdens on my shouldersDying young and growing olderThere's some brain cells i'm missingBut despite it all, i'd like to sayI'm gonna have a good day todayGonna have a good time anywayPut it all behind me, lay it all awayGonna be a good day todayBills and pills and former wivesPast estates and former livesBank account is overdrawnHad a ??? and hairline's goneHearing voices in my headSaying i should have stayed in bedDoc just died but what the heckNothing worse can happen anywaySo i'm gonna have a good day todayMe, i'm gonna have a good time anywayPut it all behind me, lay it all awayGonna be a good day todayPulled my back and wrecked my carGirlfriend stole my vcrLetter came from sixty minutesSaying they wanna put me in itTell me my career just diedYears ago i might have criedNow i'm just too old to do itMaybe true but screw it anywayMe, i'm gonna have a good day todayAnd i'm gonna have a good time anywayPut it all behind me, lay it all awayGonna be a good day todayHey i'm gonna have a good day todayMe, i'm gonna have a good time anywayPut it all behind me, lay it all awayGonna be a good day today
