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
|
