Текст песни Talking Optimist Blues (Live) - 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.
