It Feels Better Now

(Tom T. Hall)



It feels better now I got time out of the way

It feels better now you said it would someday

Like miles behind a runner I watch the passing summers

Take the hurt away, oh, it's good to say it feels better now.



It feels better now my friends forgot your name

It feels better now they think I've done the same

Circumstance protects us from things that will not let us

Get a goodnight sleep, I seldom weep, it feels better now.



It feels better now I learned to smile again

It feels better now I've got some super friends

The ticks and tocks of passing time that were like hammers in my mind

Had built a wall that hides it all, it feels better now...
