As a listener, my first impression of "Feelin' Alright" was always about a relationship with a girl. But the line about "must keep dry" never made any sense in that context to me, and it occurred to me that if you look at this as a song about a relationship with drinking, it makes much more sense.
Think of the song as the voice of someone on a bar stool, and it makes a LOT of sense.
Also, to correct a few lyrics, the first line is "have a change of scene," and in the refrain, it should read, "I'm not feeling too good myself" in each instance.

@swoods_blue I completely agree with you. This song is about a relationship with alcohol, and not a good one.
