Fowler put together a country band in 1998 and began playing Tuesday nights at Babe's on Sixth Street in Austin. Within two years, he'd begun recording albums and struck big with his self-released Beer, Bait and Ammo (2000). The album sold around 30,000 copies in the Texas area and garnered an impressive amount of airplay, particularly for the album's title track. The song became somewhat of a Texas anthem; Mark Chesnutt made the song part of his live show, and Sammy Kershaw recorded it. Fowler returned in 2002 with his third album, High on the Hog, and boasted some impressive guests, including Willie Nelson and David Lee Garza.

For the bosses dime
Paid your dues served your time
This is place to let it all go
Free your mind free your soul
Ill think god to be so hard
So now we gotta party like rockstar
Throw your hands up in the air shake it don't break it like you just don't care
Lifes to short to hold it all in turn it loose
Let the party begin
Feel the groove baby get down on it
Oh yeah
Feels good don't it
Uh huh feels good
Don't let the weight of the world drag you down
Its a dead end road better turn around
Step on the gas
Let it fly
Only got one shot
Enjoy the ride
Ill thank god to be so hard so now we gonna party like rockstar
Throw your hands up in the air shake it don't break it like you just don't care
Turn it up good and loud come on now make your momma proud
Lifes to short to hold it all in turn it loose let the party begin
Feel the groove get down on it oh yeah

In "Feels Good Don't It" by Kevin Fowler, the lyrics speak to the idea of letting go and having a good time after a long week of hard work. The singer encourages listeners to leave their troubles at the door and enjoy the night free of worry. The party-like theme that runs throughout the song is reinforced with references to "partying like a rockstar" and throwing your hands up in the air. The use of hyped-up language like "feel the groove" and "get down on it" all add to the celebratory nature of the tune.
The lyrics also provide a hint of resistance to societal norms that dictate behavior or effort, with the line "I'll thank God to be so hard" recalling the toil and struggle many people face in their daily lives. Similarly, the reference to "the weight of the world" dragging you down reminds the listener that there's more to life than the daily grind, and that sometimes it's vital to let loose and have some fun. The song, overall, functions as a way to shift perspective from the stresses of everyday life towards a more enjoyable, carefree experience.
