Watchin' Butch and Jimmy John, talkin' loud and playin' pool
My faded leather jacket, my weathered broke-in shoes
A neon sign was flashing, welcome, come on in
It feels so good, feelin' good again
But I wished I had some money with which to buy a round
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
When they sang the chorus, everybody sang along
A chill north wind was blowin', but the spring was comin' on
Publishers: BUG MUSIC, KEEN EDGE MUSIC
I heard they were divorcing but I guess they let it slide
Songwriter: Robert Earl Keen
I wished I cashed my paycheck before I came to town
And when I caught your eye, I saw you break into a grin
It feels so good, feelin' good again
My favorite band was playin' an Otis Redding song
It feels so good, feelin' good again
The boys from Silver City were standin' by the fire
Singin' like they thought they were the Tabernacle choir
There was old man Perkins sittin' on his stool
Dan and Margarita were swayin' side by side
And when I caught your eye, I saw you break into a grin
I wanted you to see them all, I wished that you were there
So I strolled across ol' Main Street, walked down a flight of stairs
It feels so good, feelin' good again
I looked across the room and saw you standing on the stair
But I reached into my pocket and found three twenties and a ten
It feels so good, feelin' good again
Stepped into the hall and saw all my friends were there
Standin' down on Main Street across from Mr. Blues
As I wondered to myself just how long I had been gone
