it's a great day..
because i am in *such* a good mood right now, i'm going to post a few songs that coiside. (sp??) :) here it goes:
i don't have to be me (til monday) -steve azar
i got me a brand new car, waiting in the driveway
shinin' like a bright new star, i've been wishin' on it everyday
to take me away from here
so i called in to where i work, told a little white lie
no my back don't really hurt, but that's my alibi
my temporary ticket to anywhere but there
call it an early weekend
call it goin' off the deep end
call it what you want
i made up my mind
i don't have to be me 'til monday
friday, saturday, sunday
i ain't gonna face reality
three days without punching a time clock
three nights goin' non-stop
no work and all play
i don't have to be me
'til monday
yeah
i can do what i wanna do, be who i wanna be
i got noone to answer to, soon as i turn the key
a cash machine, gasoline, and we're outta here
call it an early weekend
call it goin' off the deep end
baby, you and me, we can leave it all behind
'cos i don't have to be me 'til monday
friday, saturday, sunday
i ain't gonna face reality
three days without punching a time clock
three nights goin' non-stop
no work and all play
i don't have to be me
'til monday
yeah
oh, three days without punching a time clock
three nights of goin' non-stop
no work and all play
i don't have to be me
'til monday
(i don't have to be me)
i don't have to be me 'til monday
(i don't have to be me)
i don't have to be me 'til monday
(i don't have to be me)
i don't have to be me 'til monday
ya'll should see the video fer that. :D very kewl..
the next one is a very fav of mine:
i feel lucky -mary chapin carpenter
well i woke up this morning stumbled out of my rack
i opened up the paper to the page in the back
it only took a minute for my finger to find
my daily dose of destiny, under my sign
my eyes just about popped out of my head
it said "the stars are stacked against you girl, get back in bed"
i feel lucky, i feel lucky, yeah
no professor doom gonna stand in my way
mmmmm, i feel lucky today
well i strolled down to the corner, gave my numbers to the clerk
the pot's eleven million so I called in sick to work
i bought a pack of camels, a burrito and a barq's
crossed against the light, made a beeline for the park
the sky began to thunder, wind began to moan
i heard a voice above me saying, "girl, you better get back home"
but i feel lucky, oh oh oh, i feel lucky, yeah
no tropical depression gonna steal my sun away
mmmmm, i feel lucky today
now eleven million later, i was sitting at the bar
i'd bought the house a double, and the waitress a new car
dwight yoakam's in the corner, trying to catch my eye
lyle lovett's right beside me with his hand upon my thigh
the moral of this story, it's simple but it's true
hey the stars might lie, but the numbers never do
i feel lucky, oh oh oh, i feel lucky, yeah
hey dwight, hey lyle, boys, you don't have to fight
hot dog, i'm feeling lucky tonight
i feel lucky, grrrrr, i feel lucky, yeah
think i'll flip a coin, i'm a winner either way
mmmmmm, i feel lucky today
to finish off the title of this post, here's the song:
it's a great day to be alive -travis tritt
i got rice cooking in the microwave
got a three day beard i don't plan to shave
and it's a goofy thing but i just gotta say
hey i'm doing alright
yeah i think i'll make me some homemade soup
feelin pretty good and that's the truth
it's neither drink nor drug induced
no i'm just doin alright
and it's a great day to be alive
i know the sun's still shinin when i close my eyes
there's some hard times in the neigborhood
but why can't every day be just this good?
it's been fifteen years since i left home
said good luck to every seed i'd sown
give it my best and then i left it alone
oh...i hope their doin alright
now i look in the mirror and what do i see?
a lone wolf there starin back at me
long in the tooth but harmless as can be
lord i guess he's doin alright
and it's a great day to be alive
i know the sun's still shinin when i close my eyes
there's some hard times in the neigborhood
but why can't every day be just this good?
sometimes it's lonely
sometimes it's only me
and the shadows that fill this room
sometimes i'm fallin
desperately callin
howlin at the moon...
ahwoo!
ahwoo!
well i might go get me a new tattoo
or take my old harley for a three day cruise
might even grow me a fu man chu...
oh aww!
and it's a great day to be alive
i know the sun's still shinin when i close my eyes
there's some hard times in the neigborhood
but why can't every day be just this good?
and it's a great day to be alive
i know the sun's still shinin when i close my eyes
there's some hard times in the neigborhood
but why can't every day be just this good?
what's a day without a t judd quote? heres cledus' pardoy of "it's a great day to be alive"
it's a great day to be a guy -cledus t. judd
(spoken)
"mm, mm, mm, mm. you know i'm really gonna miss you, sugar britches"
"i'm gonna miss you too, bub."
"now i'm only gonna be gone a few days but now there is a few things i need to you do while i'm gone"
"oh, i figured there's somethin'!"
"oh, quite complainin'. all you gotta do is cut the grass, wash the car, trim the hedges, paint the fence, clean the pool, give the dog a bath, defrost the fridge, clean out the garage, sweep the chimney, and i'll see you on monday. i love you boogie, boogie."
"i love you too. an' don't you worry bout me. i'll be just fine."
i've got my socks dryin' in the microwave
hair on my back i don't plan to shave
i've got the house to myself while the wife's away
i'll be rockin' all night!
yeah, i think i'll drink me an ice cold brew
lounge in my boxers like i used to do
there'll be no ally mcbeal on the tube, no
i'll be watchin' the fight
well, it's a great day to be a guy
playin cards with my buddies until sunrise
you know, i never thought that my neighbor would
be sunbathing topless, lord, she sure looks good!
i caught a 10 pound bass out on the lake
played 18 holes with my best friend, jake
best ball i hit was when i stepped on a rake
oh, well it wasn't too bright
now i look in the fridge an' what do i see?
last night's pizza starin' back at me
pepperoni and anchovies
what a beautiful sight
well, its a great day to be a guy
buck naked in my lawn chair swattin' at flies
got some hot dogs on the charcoal grill
i don't wanna burn my weiners but i probably will
that fried boloney and cheese macaroni
tasted good this afternoon
but now i'm passin some serious gas and
i might have to leave the room
pu!
well, i might go get me a new hairdo
spend a couple hours in a tanning booth
might even get me a gold front tooth
whoa, hah, yeah!!
and it's a great day to be a guy
but when my wife gets home, she's gonna tan my hide
i'll be hung over but a lookin' good
from a week of reliving my bachelorhood
it's a great day to be a guy
but another week of this and i'd probably die
i tend a party harder than i should
when my wife's not here to make me be good
yeah hoo!
ahh.. the sweet sounds of cledus.. lol
well, that's all i'm gonna post fer now. maybe after class i'll put what i might sing tonight. :D til then...
"remember, no matter what you do, do it Hillbilly Style!"
