This lineup of John Schlitt (vocals), Mike Somerville (guitars), Roger Boyd (keyboards), Dan Birney (bass) and Steve Huston (drums) would last through four more studio albums and a double-LP live album when in 1980 Schlitt, Birney and Somerville left the band although Somerville would return for 1994 through 2003. By the mid-80’s, John Schlitt, had joined Petra, a christian rock band when lead singer Greg X. Volz left the band.
Roger Boyd took over leadership of the band for one mildly successful album, U.S. 1, and two more studio albums before the band became an oldies act
I Feel Fine
Head East Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never a moment of doubt in my mind
Couldn't forget her, soon as I met her
Knowin' that she was one of a kind
(1)She's the kind of woman
That makes a man feel right
When she starts to lovin'
I'm feelin' fine, knowin' she's mine
And I have her with me, can't reason why
Knowin' that I could've always been free
I'm feelin' fine, knowin' she's mine
I used to be lonely, wonderin' if only
Someone like you, would happen my way
Ever a dreamer, always a schemer
Tryin' to find, someone who would stay
Now that I found you, waitin' for me
All of my dreams have come true
When I'm beside you, feelin' so free
I just have to tell you
I'm feelin' fine, knowin' you're mine
And you're always near me, can't reason why
Knowin' that I could've alway been free
I'm feelin' fine, knowin' you're mine
Repeat (1)
I'm feelin' fine, knowin' you're mine
And you're always near me, can't reason why
Knowin' that I could've always been free
I'm feelin' fine (feelin' fine)
I'm feelin' fine (feelin' fine)
Oh I'm feelin' fine
Oh oowhoowhoowhoo
Oh I'm feelin' fine
Oh oowhoowhoowhoo (repeat 6 times)

Got a new lady, little bit crazy
I have a new girlfriend who is a little eccentric
Never a moment of doubt in my mind
I have complete faith in our relationship
Couldn't forget her, soon as I met her
I fell for her immediately and couldn't stop thinking about her
Knowin' that she was one of a kind
I knew she was unique and special
She's the kind of woman
My girlfriend is the type of person
That makes a man feel right
Who makes me feel good about myself
When she starts to lovin'
When we express our affection for each other
It's goin' to last all night
Our love is going to endure
I'm feelin' fine, knowin' she's mine
My happiness and well-being are related to being with her
And I have her with me, can't reason why
I cannot explain why being together feels so perfect
Knowin' that I could've always been free
I could have chosen to stay single, but I am glad I didn't
I used to be lonely, wonderin' if only
Before her, I was often sad and wished for companionship
Someone like you, would happen my way
I hoped to find someone compatible and loving
Ever a dreamer, always a schemer
I frequently imagined possibilities for romance and planned ways to win someone over
Tryin' to find, someone who would stay
I hoped for a long-term relationship rather than just a fling
Now that I found you, waitin' for me
Now that I have met my girlfriend, who was apparently meant to be with me
All of my dreams have come true
I feel like everything I wanted in a partner is found in her
When I'm beside you, feelin' so free
I feel liberated and content when I am around her
I just have to tell you
I want to express my feelings to her
Oh I'm feelin' fine
I am over the moon with joy
