Lyrics for That Feel

Well, there's one thing you can't lose It's that feel Your pants, your shirt, your shoes But not that feel You can throw it out in the rain You can whip it like a dog You can chop it down like an old dead tree You can always see it When you're coming into town Once you hang it on the wall You can never take it down But there's one thing you can't lose And it's that feel You can pawn your watch and chain But not that feel It always comes and finds you It will always hear you cry I cross my wooden leg And I swear on my glass eye It will never leave you high and dry Never leave you loose It's harder to get rid of than tattoos But there's one thing you can't lose Is lose that feel But there's one thing you can't do Is lose that feel You can throw it off a bridge You can lose it in the fire You can leave it at the altar But it will make you out a liar You can fall down in the street You can leave it in the lurch Well you say that it's gospel But I know that it's only church But there's one thing you can't lose And it's that feel It's that feel (But there's one thing you can't lose) And it's that feel And there's one thing you can't lose And it's that feel And there's one thing you can't lose And it's that feel
