• “It’s A Great Day To Be Alive” by Travis Tritt

  It’s an awesome song!

  “I got rice cooking in the microwave

  Got a three day beard I don’t plan to shave

  And it’s a goofy thing but I just gotta say

  Hey, I’m doing alright

  Yeah I think I’ll make me some homemade soup

  Feelin’ pretty good and that’s the truth

  It’s neither drink nor drug induced

  No, I’m just doin’ alright

  And it’s a great day to be alive

  I know the sun’s still shinin’ when I close my eyes

  There’s some hard times in the neighborhood

  But why can’t every day be just this good?

  It’s been fifteen years since I left home

  Said good luck to every seed I’d sown

  Give it my best and then I left it alone

  Oh I hope they’re doin’ alright

  Now I look in the mirror and what do I see?

  A lone wolf there starin’ back at me

  Long in the tooth but harmless as can be

  Lord, I guess he’s doin’ alright

  And it’s a great day to be alive

  I know the sun’s still shinin’ when I close my eyes

  There’s some hard times in the neighborhood

  But why can’t every day be just this good?

  Sometimes its lonely

  Sometimes its only me and

  The shadows that fill this room

  Sometimes I’m fallin’, desperately callin’

  Howlin’ at the moon

  Well I might go get me a new tatoo or

  Take my old Harley for a three day cruise

  Might even grow me a fu man chu

  And it’s a great day to be alive

  I know the sun’s still shinin’ when I close my eyes

  There’s some hard times in the neighborhood

  But why can’t every day be just this good?

  And it’s a great day to be alive

  I know the sun’s still shinin’ when I close my eyes

  There’s some hard times in the neighborhood

  But why can’t every day be just this good?”

• It’s called “It’s a Great Day To Be Alive” Here are the lyrics:

  I got rice cooking in the microwave

  Got a three day beard I don’t plan to shave

  And it’s a goofy thing but I just gotta say

  Hey I’m doing alright

  Yeah I think I’ll make me some homemade soup

  Feelin pretty good and that’s the truth

  It’s neither drink nor drug induced

  No I’m just doin alright

  And it’s a great day to be alive

  I know the sun’s still shinin when I close my eyes

  There’s some hard times in the neigborhood

  Oh…I hope their doin alright

  Sometimes I’m fallin

  Desperately callin

  Howlin at the moon…

  Well I might go get me a new tattoo

  Or take my old Harley for a three day cruise

  Might even grow me a Fu Man Chu…

  And it’s a great day to be alive

  I know the sun’s still shinin when I close my eyes

  There’s some hard times in the neigborhood

  But why can’t every day be just this good?

  RE:

  What country song starts off with the lyrics — I’ve got rice cooking in the microwave –?

  Just cooking some rice for supper — and parts of the lyrics to a country song came into my head — it goes — I’ve got rice cooking in the microwave — I’ve got a 3 day beard — I don’t plan to shave — I was just wondering if anybody knew what the title to the song is and maybe some…

  •Before you go anywhere near the microwave, make sure to measure out the rice and water in the correct ratio. Here’s how : First measure out the number of cups of rice you need. In this article (for two adults and one small kid), I use 2 cups of rice. The type rice used in this article is basmati (long grain) rice, but can also be applied to spanish or parboiled rice. •2 Put the measured rice into a large glass or other microwave safe bowl so that the rice fills the bowl upto halfway or less. If the rice fills the bowl more than halfway, then the cooked rice will overflow in the microwave(since rice expands while cooking) •3 Now for the water. It is important to get the amount of water correct to be successful with the microwave since it differs from stove top cooking. For two cups of rice measured above, measure out THREE and 1/2 cups of water and add to the rice. The way it works is this : 1 cup rice -> add 1 3/4 cups water 2 cups rice -> add 3 1/2 cups water 3 cups rice -> add 5 1/4 cups water Any more than this and you’re probably better off cooking on the stove (see other article) In other words, the multiplication factor for the water is 1.75 times the amount of rice. •4 Now cover the bowl of rice and water with an oven safe plate or microwave safe cover and place in the microwave. Add salt/seasoning if desired. NOTE : make sure the lid is not airtight because steam will be released in the microwave cooking process. •5 Set the microwave to cook on HIGH for 12 mins to cook the TWO cups of rice presented in this article. NOTE : For other measurements of rice, you can calculate how much more or less time you’ll need. NOTE : this article uses an 1100W microwave. You can easily calculate the amount of time you’ll need by using the wattage information of your own microwave. •6 Now here’s where the IMPORTANT bit comes in ! Once the microwave has done its job, do NOT be tempted to open up the cover and see – there is still more cooking to be done !! Leave the rice to sit on its own (still covered) in the microwave (with the oven switched off), cooking in the residual steam produced while cooking. For the two cups of rice cooked in this article, I left the rice in the microwave (switched off) for at least 30 mins AFTER the original 12 mins of cooking on high. IF you open the cover to take a ᴘᴇᴇk, you’ll lose all the steam and the rice won’t cook any further. The good thing is that you can leave the rice in there for as long as you want and it will quietly cook on its own while you get the other stuff going in the kitchen !! •7 After about 30mins (12mins on high + 30 mins on OFF = 42mins)your rice is ready, fluffy, perfect, hot and ready to be served !! •8 NOTE : If you’re in a hurry and want the rice cooked faster, then after STEP 5, simply add a few tablespoons of water to the rice, set the microwave power to LOW and cook another 5-6 mins. In this case you may have to check to make sure that the rice has been fully cooked.
