Good Enough For Me

"I'm alive and well and you know, today, that's good enough for me"

This afternoon, I heard my new theme song for the first time.  Madeleine, Grace and I were driving home when the radio announcer said, "and here's (I didn't catch the title at first) with Kenny Chesney and Dave Matthews".  So--after I almost rear ended the person in front of me (because what is Dave Matthews doing singing country?), I listened carefully to the song "I'm Alive".  And it gave me a warm feeling inside because it's exactly what I would say about my life. 

As it turns out, Mr. Chesney and Mr. Matthews are buddies and have sung together before.  My faithful man in the know about these things tells me that Dave considers "Grace is Gone" to be both his best song and country.  (I knew there was a reason I liked Dave.)  So now my only question is, how long will it take KJD to admit (grudgingly) that there is something to love about country music?

I'm Alive

Lyrics by Kenny Chesney

So damn easy to say that life's so hard

Everybody's got their share of battle scars

As for me I'd like to thank my lucky stars that 

I'm alive and well

It'd be easy to add up all the pain

And all the dreams you've sat and watch go up in flames

Dwell on the wreckage as it smolders in the rain

But not me... I'm alive

And today you know that's good enough for me

Breathing in and out's a blessing can't you see

Today's the first day of the rest of my life

And I'm alive and well

I'm alive and well

Stars are dancin' on the water here tonight

It's good for the soul when there's not a soul in sight

This motor's caught its wind and brought me back to life

Now I'm alive and well

And today you know that's good enough for me 

Breathing in and out's a blessing can't you see

Today's the first day of the rest of my life

Now I'm alive and well

Yeah I'm alive and well
