It matters to me, took a long time to get here But if it would have been easy I would not have cared Like a tropical forest, like a cop on the beat When all is in order you get lost in the heat I feel so wonderful, wonderful, wonderful the way I feel I feel so wonderful, wonderful, wonderful the way I feel Doesn't matter to me, I could take it or leave it I could learn from way back when and still live right now With the sun on my shoulder and the wind in my back I will never grow older, at least not in my mind I feel so wonderful, wonderful, wonderful the way I feel I feel so wonderful, wonderful, wonderful the way I feel So wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful the way I feel I feel so wonderful, wonderful, wonderful the way I feel I'm going where there ain't no fear I'm going where the spirit is near I'm going where the living is easy And the people are kind, a new state of mind I'm going where there ain't no police I'm going where there ain't no disease I'm going where there ain't no need To escape from what is only spirits at ease
