It's a Great Day to Be Alive - Travis Tritt

On the day the wall came down They threw the locks onto the ground And with glasses high we raised a cry for freedom had arrived On the day the wall came down The ship of fools had finally run aground Promises lit up the night like paper doves in flight I dreamed you had left my side No warmth, not even pride remained And even though you needed me It was clear that I could not do a thing for you New life devolves day by day As friends and neighbours turn away And there's a change that, even with regret, cannot be undone Now frontiers shift like desert sands While nations wash their bloodied hands Of loyalty, of history, in shades of grey I woke to the sound of drums The music played, the morning sun streamed in I turned and I looked at you And all but the bitter residue slipped away... slipped away

Ho, ho-ho-ho, ho Ho-ho, ho-ho, ho-ho-ho Ho, ho-ho-ho, ho Ho-ho, ho-ho, ho-ho-ho When I wake up, the cross above my bed Hangs like a question mark above my head My good intentions led me to dead ends Yet again (yet again), yet again (ho-ho, ho-ho, ho-ho-ho) I tried to help you see what you can't see But your reflection blind to reality Like a shadow running from the sun rising Finally it dawned on me (ho-ho, ho-ho, ho-ho-ho) Bloodsucker, you always kill my vibe Gone from bad to worse and, no, it's not alright Bloodsucker, try to bleed me dry Go and leech off someone else for the rest your life Bloodsucker (ho, ho-ho-ho, ho) (Ho-ho, ho-ho, ho-ho-ho) (Ho, ho-ho-ho, ho) (Ho-ho, ho-ho, ho-ho-ho) Bloodsucker (ho, ho-ho-ho, ho) (Ho-ho, ho-ho, ho-ho-ho) Go and leech off someone else for the rest your life (ho, ho-ho-ho, ho) You leave a black cloud everywhere you've been Wreck a good day and disappear again Just like clockwork, I know I can depend on you Being you (ho-ho, ho-ho, ho-ho-ho) Bloodsucker, you always kill my vibe Gone from bad to worse and, no, it's not alright Bloodsucker, try to bleed me dry Go and leech off someone else for the rest your life Bloodsucker (ho, ho-ho-ho, ho) (Ho-ho, ho-ho, ho-ho-ho) (Ho, ho-ho-ho, ho) (Ho-ho, ho-ho, ho-ho-ho) Bloodsucker (ho, ho-ho-ho, ho) (Ho-ho, ho-ho, ho-ho-ho) Go and leech off someone else for the rest your life (ho, ho-ho-ho, ho) I've only got a lifetime So I'll give no more to you I've only got a lifetime So I'll give no more to you I've only got a lifetime So I'll give no more to you, you, you, you Bloodsucker, you always kill my vibe Gone from bad to worse and, no, it's not alright Bloodsucker, try to bleed me dry Go and leech off someone else for the rest your life Bloodsucker (ho, ho-ho-ho, ho) (Ho-ho, ho-ho, ho-ho-ho) (Ho, ho-ho-ho, ho) (Ho-ho, ho-ho, ho-ho-ho) Bloodsucker (ho, ho-ho-ho, ho) (Ho-ho, ho-ho, ho-ho-ho) Go and leech off someone else for the rest your life (ho, ho-ho-ho, ho)

I've tried to stay afloat But waves keep crashin' over me Been holdin' onto all I've got It's gotten kinda heavy So what if I just let go? What if I surrender to the tide? (Surrender to the tide) I could just let myself drown, lay on the ocean floor Sometimes we need to die So we can be alive So we can be alive And somewhere in between I'm always dreamin' The things I should've been Keep me from livin' So what if I just let go? What if I surrender to the tide? (Surrender to the tide) I could just let myself drown, lay on the ocean floor Sometimes we need to die So we can be alive So we can be alive So we can be alive So we can be alive

I don't know why You think that you could hold me When you couldn't get by by yourself And I don't know who Would ever want to tear the seam of someone's dream Baby, it's fine, you said that we should just be friends While I came up with that line and I'm sure That it's for the best If you ever change your mind, don't hold your breath 'Cause you may not believe That baby, I'm relieved, hmm When you said goodbye, my whole world shines Hey hey hey It's a beautiful day and I can't stop myself from smiling If we're drinking, then I'm buying And I know there's no denying It's a beautiful day, the sun is up, the music's playing And even if it started raining You won't hear this boy complaining 'Cause I'm glad that you're the one who got away It's a beautiful day It's my turn to fly, so girls, get in line 'Cause I'm easy, no playing this guy like a fool Now I'm alright Might've had me caged before, but not tonight And you may not believe, hmm That baby, I'm relieved This fire inside, it burns too bright I don't want to say "So long", I just want to say "Goodbye" It's a beautiful day and I can't stop myself from smiling If we're drinking, then I'm buying And I know there's no denying That it's a beautiful day, the sun is up, the music's playing And even if it started raining You won't hear this boy complaining 'Cause I'm glad that you're the one who got away, hmm 'Cause if you ever think I'll take up My time with thinking of our break-up Then, you've got another thing coming your way 'Cause it's a beautiful day Beautiful day Oh, baby, any day that you're gone away It's a beautiful day

I've got a smile on my face, and I've got four walls around me I've got the sun in the sky, all the water surround me Oh you know, yeah I win now and sometimes I lose I've been battered, but I never bruise It's not so bad And I say way-hey-hey, it's just an ordinary day And it's all your state of mind At the end of the day You've just got to say it's all right Gina sings on the corner, what keeps her from dying Let them say what they want, but she won't stop trying (Oh, you know) She might stumble, they push her 'round She might fall, but she'll never lie down It's not so bad And I say way-hey-hey, it's just an ordinary day And it's all your state of mind At the end of the day, You've just got to say it's all right. It's all right, it's all right (It's all right) 'Cause in this beautiful life there's always some sorrow And It's a double-edged knife, but there's always tomorrow (Oh, you know) It's up to you now if you sink or swim Just keep the faith that your ship will come in It's not so bad () And I say way-hey-hey, it's just an ordinary day And it's all your state of mind At the end of the day You've just got to say I say way-hey-hey, it's just an ordinary day And it's all your state of mind At the end of the day You've just got to say it's all right It's all right, it's all right I've got a smile on my face, and I've got four walls around me
