From the recording Trapeze
Pretty Good Day (3:10) Upbeat folk-rock. A positive song to address the daily grind and
doom. Kate allows her dog to do the talking in response to her whining. Reminder that
one must turn to the simplest pleasures and routines to not only cope, but to thrive.

Pretty Good Day
McDonnell/Lindley ©2023
Sunday, sundown
Aches and pains, I’m all run down
Can’t say what’s wrong
I’ve been mad and sad too long
Facebook, TikTok
On my phone around the clock
Bad news, bad dreams
How do I quit this crazy scene
So, I looked at my dog
And he tilted his head
He doesn’t speak
But here’s what he said
Gotta roll up your sleeves
Put your hands in the dirt
Maybe ask for a blessing
Maybe have another dessert
Gotta call up a friend
And mean what you say
Hey let’s go for a walk
That’ll be a pretty good day
Pretty good day
Monday, still here
Sunday in the rearview mirror
Woke up worn down
Looking for that higher ground
So, I looked at my dog
And he tilted his head
He doesn’t speak
But here’s what he said
Gotta roll up your sleeves…
Hey let’s go for a walk
That’ll be a pretty good day
Pretty good day
