Circle left
I've got rice cookin' in the microwave
Got a three day beard I don't plan to shave
Left allemande and turn the partner right
Left allemande and weave
And it's a great day to be alive
I know the sun's still shining when I close my eyes
There's some hard times in the neighborhood
But why can't every day be just this good

Heads promenade just halfway with your maid
Walk in and pass the ocean, then extend, single hinge
Centers trade, swing thru, centers run and tag the line
All face in, touch 1/4, and boys run right
Swing your corner and promenade
There's some hard times in the neighborhood
But why can't every day be just this good

Sides face, grand square
Yeah, I think I'll make me some homemade soup
I'm feelin' pretty good and that's the truth
It's neither drink nor drug induced
No, I'm just doin' alright
All four ladies promenade inside of the ring now
Get back home, swing and all promenade
There's some hard times in the neighborhood
But why can't every day be just this good

Circle left
It's been fifteen years since I left home
And said good luck to every seed I'd sown
Left allemande and turn the partner right
Left allemande and weave
And it's a great day to be alive
I know the sun's still shining, when I close my eyes
There's some hard times in the neighborhood
But why can't every day be just this good?
