Robert Earl Keen - Feelin' Good Again lyrics

rate me

Standin' down on Main Street

Across from Mr, Blues

In my faded leather jacket

And 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 old Main Street

Walked down a flight of stairs

Stepped into the hall

And saw all my friends were there

A neon sign was flashin' "Welcome come on in"

It feels so good feelin' good again

Instrumental

My favorite band was playin'

An Otis Redding song

When they sang the chorus

Everybody sang along

Dan and Margarita

were swayin' side by side

I heard they were divorcin'

But I guess they let it slide

And I wished I had some money with

which to buy a round

I wished I'd cashed my paycheck

Before I came to town

But I reached into my pocket

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 standin' on the stair

And when I caught your eye

I saw you break into a grin

It feels so good feelin' good again
