The Optimist
CHORUS
E Am D C E
I live each day like it's my last and I think today will be
E Am D C E
But that is just the optimist that lies inside of me

Daddy he got drafted by the will of Uncle Sam

By the hand of God and the Vietcong he died in Vietnam

Mother couldn't raise three kids but she could raise her hand

Every night my brother's and my sister's hides got tanned
VERSE 2

They said my brother was different but I didn't give a damn
He got married in Frisco and got murdered in Alabam'
