  • 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.
