Lyrics
soul
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Are you gonna scribble in the dark with a marker or do you gotta have the latest pen
If you tell a good joke and somebody laughs do we gotta hear it over again
If you give someone a present is it just to make 'em happy or just to keep 'em at bay
Are you gonna follow your soul
Are you gonna follow your soul
Are you gonna follow your soul
Or just the style of the day
Win a penny, lose a penny, here's a penny, penny, penny penny's gonna come and go
How many years will you sit there waiting for the wind to change how it blows
Do the skeletons in your closet all got 20 pairs of shoes to choose from, baby
Are you gonna follow your soul ...
Now I feel the changes coming down between you and I
Lions gotta roar and monkeys gotta bonk
Birds gotta swim, fish gotta fry
It's just a question I ain't necessarily leaning either way
Are you gonna follow your soul ...
Now I feel the changes coming from the north
Old Man Winter's gonna blow us off the porch and back inside
Every time I go downtown I see something beautiful behind glass
All the money in the world won't buy back a day of your past
I hear that you been crying
I wanna tell you that it's OK
Are you gonna follow your soul ...
