Everyday Is a Celebration

Just happy every morning when I wake up alive
Wiggle me toes, see to see if my feet still have feeling
Thank The Good Lord and send the Devil a "Go To Hell" card
Guess I made it through another day and did survive
And giving me another reason for being
Maybe getting old, but no use to take it hard

Crawl out if bed and try stand up
Navigate to where I left the kitchen last night
Pray to God there is some coffee
Takes forever, but i am ready for a cup
Or there might be a pretty good fight
Three cups for sure, then I will be able to see

Check the mail and all the bills are on time'
When my knees go to hurting, know that is going to rain
When it goes to clouding up, go inside and let her rip
Seems like they know how to get every dime
All the medicine I take, is WD-40 just for the pain
Teeth all accounted for, thanks to Poly-Grip

When my belly goes to growling, it is time to eat
When I go to sweating, then I stand in the shade
When the Sun goes down, Thank God for another creation
Grab me a cup of coffee, take me a easy seat
Another day is done and I hope all of my dues are paid
No candles or cake, everyday is a celebration
