feelin' good again

robert earl keen

standin there on main street across from mr. blues

my faded leather jacket my weathered brogan shoes

a chill north wind was blowin but the spring was comin on

as i wondered to myself just how long i had been gone

so i strolled across ol main street walked down a flight of stairs

stepped into a hall and saw all my friends were there

a neon sign was flashing welcome come on in

it feels so good feeling good again

my favorite band was playin' and otis redding song

and when they sang the chorus everybody sang along

dan and margarita were swayin side by side

i heard they were divorcing but i guess they let it slide

i wished i had some money with which to buy a round

i wished i cashed my paycheck before i came to town

but i reached into my pocket and found three twenties and a ten

it feels so good feelin good again

there was old man perkins sittin on his stool

watchin butch and jimmy john talkin' loud and playin pool

the boys from silver city were standin by the fire

singin like they thought they were the tabernacle choir

and i wanted you to see them all i wished that you were there

i looked across the room and saw you standing on the stair

and when i caught your eye i saw you break into a grin

it feels so good feelin good again

i wanted you to see them all i wished that you were there

i looked across the room and saw you standing on the stair

and when i caught your eye i saw you break into a grin

it feels so good feelin good again

it feels so good feelin good again
