I will never tire of this song. Thanks Travis.

I just got detoxed and rehab for alcohol. I was on the brink of death. I was drunk for 14 years. I am now clean-13 days, and never felt better. I am in tears. Thanks TT!

It's become a habit to listen to this regularly. It reminds me to be grateful, and as Cicero put it "gratitude is the noblest of all virtues and the parent of all others."

I'm 6 years late, but how is he this good live? Even security's laid back singing along.

*This song is a shout out to people who* *left toxic relationships, bullied, came* *out of depression, survived any form* *of cancer, harmful addictions and for those that was* *mentally or sexually* *abused. Shout out to those incredibly* *resilient individuals who have had to* *rely on their automobiles for shelter.* *Also a shout out to people in loving* *marriages that's still going strong* *This one is for YOU*

This song helped me out so much through rehab and now that that battle is over, it really is a great day to be alive.

I listen to this song many mornings to pick me up. Been through a lot. CML leukemia, heart attack with stents, stroke and a Tia they then gave me a pacemaker. This all started at age 44. So I have to stay strong for my wife, kids 11 grandchildren, and my 88 year old Mom. So songs like this and prayers help me get the days started. Am 60 now and doing well. So I am thankful. ;)

Released nearly 20 years ago but still sounds better than today's country.

After everything I've been through, everyday God lets me wake up, it's a great day!

One of the best to ever do it! One of the best Country songs ever produced! And to hell with Budweiser and FJB!!!

Buried my cousin, who was like a brother to me, today. He was killed by someone he trusted when his back was turned. And I had to hear this song just to be grateful I'm alive. Thanks Travis keep singing, you are helping us.

Travis Tritt, one of the most underrated yet legendary country singers there were.

Anyone who has gone throughout anything hard in life, this is what will get you beyond that hardship. You're not perfect, but you're doing alright, and that's all God asks of you. Chin up.

I remember riding around with my dad listening to this song. He passed in 2003, takes me back every time.

I was born in Texas in the 90s. My parents divorced and a lot was going on and I was 10 and I remember feeling that I’d never be happy again. A year later I randomly heard this song again. And it just somehow hit me and I started crying bc I finally felt hope and happiness

I don’t care what the genre is - a great song is a great song and this one gives a lot of people what they need.

This is my favorite song by Travis tritt. It's a great day to be alive,the sun is still shining when I close my eyes . I believe that music is the best medicine and I want to sing along 🎤

Travis has a great voice no doubt, and his one of the best performers alive today! Much respect for this band too, and the backing vocals are stellar; definitely the icing on the cake !!!

now this is true country not like the crap today

I've never understood why Travis isn't a bigger star. He's extremely talented & true country. Always dug this song, but last month I nearly died in a rollover accident. Now everyday is a blessing, a gift, and a great day to be alive! Thank you Travis Tritt !!!

I remembered when my daughter was born they played this song...and they said I didn't have an ear for Country music. Daddy loves you, Emmy.

Does this man even realize how beloved he is? Seen him live several times. I love every song he ever wrote or sung

I do not know country music at all. I heard this song what…. 2 decades ago and I thought it was awesome, the lyrics resonated within me in a strong way. Even more now than back then. Thank you, Mr.Tritt.

I remember the alcohol and drug addiction fog lifting and feeling pure joy at that moment. The road isn't always easy though

This is the American music that we love.

That Washburn A10. Beautiful puppet. Travis makes it talk too! 🎸🎶

It's ALWAYS A GREAT DAY To Be ALIVE ALWAYS! IT'S ALWAYS A GREAT DAY For This GOOD COUNTRY SONG TOO. WE LOVE THIS COUNTRY SONG EVERY SINGLE DAY ALWAYS. I LOVE THIS GOOD COUNTRY SONG EVERY DAY ALWAYS! Very Good Country Song. 👍🙂

Travis is one of the best in country music!!!

Facing 2 kinds of Cancer. This song helps me every daughter met him at a high school dance. I fell in love with his music and attitude. Bless you Travis.

My favorite song of all time! I sing it when people are frustrated. It always makes them😁

2019 and we are still howling at the moon!

He’s aged SO WELL! Just learned to play this on guitar and it’s so uplifting to play and sing :-)

This song is a work of genius! The bridge which is sombre and slightly sad appears half way through the song (not the last part of the song as most songs do).. this then leaves the rest of the song to be positive!

This brought me thru MANY significant losses in my life over the past years.

Honestly...one of the most underrated in country music

Absolutely love this song still today in 2021!

This was the last song my dad heard before passing. I always think of him when i hear it. Such an amazing song for such an amazing memory.

Just saw him live in Anderson, SC on Sep. 20th. Let me tell ya, he’s still got it! Hands down the best concert I’ve been to yet.

wow! damn this song rocks!

Amen! Thank you God! Thank you Travis for this song!🙏❤

I love this song..It helps me when I'm feeling down and going through a lot of problems and painful memories. I have it as my ringtone..That's how much I love it!!😁

This was my cousins favorite song….. he was 18 when he passed away after a heart and double lung transplant….. if this could be his favorite song then i have no room to complain about anything. He thought every day was a great day to be alive. What an inspiration. ♥️💔😇

Going to see Travis for the first time tonight!

Everyday is a great day to be Alive Brother

Those 2 bros that high five is my favourite part, “is this real life... fuck yeah it is”

This song....thank you Travis for all the help and love you shared. You'll never be forgotten.

@travistritt You were part of me discovering Country while growing up in a small town in Massachusetts. Going to try to see you in ATL this fall, never stray from your beliefs. Love what you did for Jason Aldean, I was a fan, but now I'm an even bigger one. See you this fall!!! Much love, do what you do and never back down.

God Bless Travis and everything he stands for!

yes indeed!I am still alive and Thank you.

Love you, Travis Tritt. True Country, not the crossover CRAP being produced today.

I know it is weird to hear this song for the first time just now, but it is wonderfull! Somehow pick me up songs appear to me in here today. And it is exactly what I need right now! Love it!

One of the very few artists that sound so good that it's so close to recording.

It’s a great day to be alive!!! 🤗

I recall first hearing this song whilst driving to work on the I480 in Cleveland OH in 2001 just before 9/11 (I was on a business visit from South Africa). This song stuck with me ever since!

I remember being depressed as hell, down on my luck when I first this song. At a point of my life where I just wanted to die and end my life. Three years later I've lost over 100 pounds and mostly overcome my depression. Ive learned it's a great day to be alive and that itself is the greatest gift someone could had given me

Listening to travis tritt under lockdown... it's a really a great day to be alive

Please get this exact appearance converted to 1080HD, its one of the best live performances that I've ever seen!

A friend of mine just bought himself a brand new Harley Davidson motorcycle. I love this song!!

This song helped me get through the difficult times after my wife left me and became a drug addict. Things do get better though. It truly is a great day to be alive! Live long and prosper.🖖

Another Classic, yea I've been clean for 30 years and from severe mental health issues the same period. Great day to be alive

Amen, brother. It's a good day to be alive. Even if some days are difficult. We'll help others to know: with no drugs or drink, and maybe long in the tooth, but we're good (even if we might howl at the moon now and then).

I’m back on the bottle n coming for ... u know...

hey travis....its been years....but, when my dad died, i heard this song on the radio...(it's a great day to be alive )....... well,,,in some way,...not sure why....but, it helped me cope...... again, not sure how....but it helped....and i just want to thank you...

Love Travis Tritt and family God bless you all.

If this song is just this good why can’t everyday be this good.

What a great song! I had never really paid much attention to Travis Tritt before today and now I’m a fan. I heard him tell the story about how this song was written during an interview on Louder With Crowder and it was maybe the best interview I’ve ever seen or heard. I knew I would be a fan even before I listened to this song because I like what it’s about. I like Travis Tritt as a person. I like his attitude and what he had to say about life and about this song. It was written by a guy who was in intense pain and laying flat on his back on the floor. He opened his eyes and saw a ray of sunshine coming through the window and started thinking about how great it was to be alive even though he was in such agony. The attitude of thankfulness and hope resonates with me. Maybe I’ll start doing what he says other people do. Listen to this song as soon as I wake up just to put me in the right frame of mind for the day ahead.

This was the first song going through my head when my daughter was born

This is a song I always come back to when I've had a bad day. "Gave it my best and then I left it alone"

20 years ago. Lol. We never thought we would endure a time like this. Awesome song. It surely is a great day. Thank you Travis.

Just pure brilliance. Great tune great lyrics. Hits you straight in the heart. Thank you Travis,

One talented dude.

Just an "AMERICAN" treasure !!!

It is friday 9/2/2019. Woke up at noon, and I had bbq for breakfast. This song was in my head the whole time. ❤

53 ppl don’t howl at the moon. How can you not like this?

This song always brings tears to my eyes. Happy tears.

J'adore !!!! Que dieu aide tout le monde et que cette chanson parfaire sa volonté !!!

Still love this song to this day!

GOD IS GOOD! And so is life! Any day I get to ride my Harley is a GREAT day!

this song changed my life

We all love ya so much! Thank you for your music. Seriously, thank you.

I still love you Travis Tritt🤩

Hell yes it does!

My nephew Brad died in 2002 in a car accident. I guess he sang this alot with his college buddies. My sister and her husband had this played at his funeral. He was only 18. We all tear up when we hear this.😪😪😪😪😪😪😪

I needed this great classic Travis Tritt song about the joy and blessings of life..... from only God, of course

This song uplifts me when I’m down thx TT I hear Ray Charles in your voice and I’m loving it

Don't matter how down I might be feeling I'll come listen to this song and it puts a smile on my face

I still listen to this song every night before I go to bed each night

Travis made great music and memories. Happy life he's living. Thanks for the music

I play this song every Saturday morning when the sun is coming up... It's a great day too be alive 😀

Thanks Travis....... they took part of my right lung out 10-06-2020 (VA hospital)... started radiation 11-09-2020 (local)... will start chemo 11-20-2020 (VA hospital again)... BUT it is still a great day to be alive no matter what!!! Crazy as it sounds... I can breath better now than for the last 5-8 years. Thinking about dusting off the guitar and going to play and sing at a local country jam night after it's all over..........

Got to sit backstage with Travis and the band. They hold hands and pray that God gives them the strength to put on the best concert ever! When the show seemed to be over he said I know many of you are here with little $. So his encore was as long as the main concert 🙏👍❤️

I lost my best friend in 2004 and he LOVED this song. Travis is 1 helluva artist

yeah, I've loved Travis tritt when he first came out still kicking it

His interview with Louder with Crowder brought me here! 👍

This song makes me smile!!

I generally don't listen to much country music. I was googling songs to put on my housemate's congratulations I've finally moved out playlist, I've been sleeping on their sofa for nearly a year in a 1-bed bungalow, we're real cramped. And I love this. It's so peaceful and hopeful, as well as my housemate's playlist it's saved on multiple of mine. A light in a world that can often be very dark.

Still listening 2/ 21/2021 "It's a Great Day to be Alive" 💯👍😁

This song here I thought would help my family understand, sent it to them. I drove to see Travis in Asheville and was lucky enough to be in Knoxville to see him as well. I got no response from my supposed family, I tried. Done with that. Sometime the olive branch doesn't work. But Travis is delicious.
