	Interesting song in that John's self-revelatory songs have always carried a negative perspective ("I'm a Loser", "Nowhere Man", "Look at Me", "How"). "Intuition" is really the first time we hear John affirming himself, and this song prepares the way for his later classic "Watching the Wheels". I mention later that "You Are Here" sounds like a Jimmy Buffett song, but it is easy to imagine Mr. Buffett performing this song as well.	Bruce Beatlefan	April 15, 2006

Lyrics

My intentions are good, I use my intuition
It takes me for a ride
But I never understood other people's superstition
It seemed like suicide
And as I play the game of life
I try to make it better each and every day
And when I struggle in the night
The magic of the music seems to light the way
Intuition takes me there
Intuition takes me everywhere

Well my instincts are fine
I had to learn to use them in order to survive
And time after time confirmed an old suspicion
It's good to be alive
And when I'm deep down and out and lose communication
With nothing left to say
It's then I realize it's only a condition
Of seeing things that way
Intuition takes me there
Intuition takes me everywhere
