Talking Optimistic Blues — текст песни (Neil Diamond)

Written by: neil diamond and gretchen peters



I got worries by the ton

Getting kansas only one

Over taxed and alimony

Tired of eating fried baloney

I got burdens on my shoulders

Dying young and growing older

Theres some brain cells Im missing

But despite it all, Id like to say



Im 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 estates and former lives

Bank account is overdrawn

Had a ? ? ? and hairlines gone

Hearing voices in my head

Saying I should have stayed in bed

Doc just died but what the heck

Nothing worse can happen anyway



So Im gonna have a good day today

Me, Im 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

Girlfriend stole my vcr

Letter came from sixty minutes

Saying they wanna put me in it

Tell me my career just died

Years ago I might have cried

Now Im just too old to do it

Maybe true but screw it anyway



Me, Im gonna have a good day today

And Im gonna have a good time anyway

Put it all behind me, lay it all away

Gonna be a good day today



Hey Im gonna have a good day today

Me, Im gonna have a good time anyway

Put it all behind me, lay it all away

Gonna be a good day today
