    I know songs mean different things to different people, but anyone who has ever lost their way, but somehow managed to find the way back from the darkness , to the things , and people who truly matter in their life, knows just how true this song is.
    "It feels so good, feeling good again "

    So like, you saw Christabel again on the stair and wished she was there? in a better mood but still another of your ghost songs. Jimmie Dale Gilmore told us about West Texas mysticism and letting those molecules fall into place.

    This song has always been one of my favorite. My interpretation is stepping out of purgatory and into heaven. It takes a few looks around the room before you realize where you are. ALL your friends are there. Texas Forever!!!

    Quite possibly the best version of this incredible Robert Earl Keen song. He's one of our best song writers and he performs them for those of us that appreciate great poetry put to simple and tasteful melody. Thank you.

    Inadvertently saw Robert Earl Keen in concert at the Minnesota Zoo last year. He had a large following of people obviously there for him, though I came to see the opening act, The Lone Bellow. Funny how that works out...when audiences become fans of different artists just by being in the right place at the right time. Wish I saw you standing on the stairs.

    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
    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 'em 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
    I wanted you to see 'em 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
    It feels so good feelin' good again

    “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but inherit Eternal Life.
    For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.”
    “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
    And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, but men loved darkness rather than the light, because their deeds were evil.
    For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come into the light, for fear that their evil deeds will be exposed.
    But he who does the truth comes into the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done through God.”
    John 3: 16-21

    I don't know exactly what the character is going through, but I always image he's been out working in the oil fields for an extended time. Has come into town to have drink at a bar thats special to him, and hoping he runs into a girl that he knows and likes a lot. Spending that last little bit of per diem money that's burnin a hole.
