Steve Earle & Lucinda Williams
The opening and title track to the 1996 album Feel Alright was also the soundtrack of a powerful closing montage in the final episode of season 2 of the HBO series The Wire. The song was a perfect fit, despite being written and recorded over five years prior to the season.
With the full song playin...
[Verse 1]
I was born my papa's son
A wandering eye and a smoking gun
Now some of you would live through me
Then lock me up and throw away the key
Or just find a place to hide away
And hope that I just go away
[Chorus]
That I feel alright, I feel alright tonight
I feel alright, I feel alright tonight
[Verse 2]
I'll bring you precious contraband
And ancient tales from distant lands
Of conquerors and concubines
And conjurers from darker times
Betrayal and conspiracy
Sacrilege and heresy
[Chorus]
That I feel alright, I feel alright tonight
I feel alright, I feel alright tonight
[Verse 3]
I got everything you won't need
Your darkest fear, your fondest dream
I ask you questions, tell you lies
Criticize and sympathize
Yeah but be careful what you wish for, friend
Because I've been to hell and now I'm back again
[Chorus]
I feel alright, yeah I feel alright tonight
Yeah I feel alright, and I feel alright tonight
I feel alright, I feel alright
