Lyrics
Verse
If you don’t know what you’re seeking
You don’t know what to do
If you’re looking for an answer
If you’re looking for your truth
Don’t sit inside, don’t wait around
That will lead nowhere
Jump on this train, Hop a board
This ride will take you there
Chorus
You’re gonna feel good
Yeah, you’re gonna feel good
Verse
See, there is no big secret
To this universe
No, hoodo voodoo mumbo Jumbo
Will clear you from your curse
It’s not what you can get out of
It’s what you can get into
Express yourself, do what you love
Try something new
Chorus
Cause it will feel good
It will feel good
I promise it will feel good
You’re gonna feel good
Walk up riff
Verse
You could hike the nearest mountain
I’ll jump out of a plane
Learn to dance or sing or paint
Or ride a bronco tame
[Hit hit hit triplet feel]
Use imagination
Go with your instinct
True to yourself, for no one else
Your blues will come extinct
Chorus
And you’ll feel good
If it makes you feel good [just do it.]
Cause it makes you feel good. [feel good.]
It’s time for you to feel good
[Hits to F]
Solo
Verse
The answer to life’s problems
Don’t come from no damn pill
It’s the joy that comes from your create
Makes your cup overfill [triplet hits?]
I hope you got the feeling
That things will be just fine
When you laugh and play your blues away
It works out every time
Chorus
Find something that makes you feel good
So you feel good
Don’t wait because you can feel good. [triplet]
It’s time for you to feel good
It makes me feel good, it makes me feel good, it makes me feel good, it makes me feel good
