That sounds like a quote from the character played by my MAN, Steve Earle

Steve is one of my heroes ... his character on the show is pretty much ... him. Except in real life, he's an amazing musician/songwriter. Kicked dope and speed in jail back in the early 90's, been sober through NA/AA ever since.

Here's one of my fave tunes of his, the eponymous first song from his return to major-label recording after prison/rehab...

YouTube - Steve Earle & The V-Roys - I Feel Alright + Interview UK

The interview afterward is great, too.

Or, if you prefer a more rocking version, here's one with his real band, the Dukes.

It's like my 'recovery theme song'.
