Well I've been told I have a tendency To look at things on the dark side That glass has always seemed half empty to me But since you've been around It's getting harder for me to keep my spirits down This wakin' up with a smile is sure new to me Chorus: You know I could get used to this bein' happy I could get used to a brighter day If I'm dreamin' don't anybody slap me I could get used to livin' this way Could sure get used to livin' this way I spent all my life looking over my shoulder Runnin' smack dab into hard times Daddy said it seemed like back luck followed me But you sure broke that spell 'Cause I'm dressin' better, I'm eatin' well And my old friends ain't believin' what they see Repeat Chorus Y'all stop me if I start gettin' carried away Somebody stop me if I start sayin' "Have a nice day" Repeat Chorus Twice I like livin' this way
