It matters to me
Took a long time to get here
If it would’ve 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
Ooh, wonderful the way I feel

Doesn’t matter to me
I can take or leave it
I can learn from way back when
And still live right now

With the sun on my shoulder
And the wind at 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
Ooh, 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 there ain't no disease
I'm going where there ain't no need
To escape from what is
Only spirits at ease

This isn't their greatest effort.  Gave it a 4.

Not wonderful, I'm afraid. My partner specifically came out of the bathroom during a shower to tell me how boring it was

I'm going where the livin' 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

I agree!  It isn't bad, but it isn't inspired.  I suppose it's unfair for us to expect greatness all the time, but everything I've heard from this album has been something of a letdown for me.  It's all just ok, nothing objectionable and nothing attention grabbing...  it just is. 

I think that is causing me to rate it lower than it really deserves, but I just can't think of this as anything other than just decent.

 
i'm with you both on this. i really like the band, and originally, i really liked the song (but it's because i'd recently seen them live, and they did it so sweetly), however, i think i'm in the same camp as your opinion, here, overall.

Wonderful! What more do you need to say? I really liked the way the song developed with added instruments, cellos, violins and banjos? The lyrics made me think of joining in to go to this wonderful place where your cares would evaporate because it is a place that has no police, thus no violence and sounds like going to paradise. Think'll have to at least go for a long hike in the desert this weekend and find a place just like it.

There isn't much else to choose from so I guess these guys are the best of what's (not) out there?

Kind of a departure from the norm for them....

Speaking of, I finally saw the "American Dad" episode about them the other night...
