Standin' out on mainstreet, across from mister blues
in my faded leather jacket, in my weathered broken shoes
A chill north wind was blowin' but the spring was coming on
now I wonder to myself just how long I've been gone
So I strolled across old mainstreet, walked down a fleight of stairs
I stepped into the hall and saw that all my friends were there
a neon sign was flashing, welcome, come on in
I feel so good, feelin' good again
my favorite band was playin' an Otis Redding song
and when they sang the everybody sang along
And Dan and Marguerita were swaying side by side
I heard they were divorcing but I guess they let it slide
and I wished I had some money with which to buy a round
I wished I cashed my paycheck before I came to town
I reached into my pockets, found three twenties and a ten
I feel so good, feelin' good again
There was old man Curtis, sittin' on a stool
Watching Butch from Millie John talk loud while playing pool
and the boys from Silver City were standing by the fire
Singing 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 stairs
And when I caught your eye I saw you breaking through a grin
I feel so good, feelin' good again
Feelin' good again
Feelin' good again
