Talking Optimistic Blues (good Day Today — текст песни (Neil Diamond)

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.
