Soul Man

Coming to you, on a dusty road
Good loving, I got a truck load
And when you get it, you got something
So don't worry, 'cause I'm coming
I'm a soul man, I'm a soul man
I'm a soul man, I'm a soul man
Got what I got, the hard way
and I'll make better, each and every day
So honey, hey, don't you fret
'cause you ain't seen nothing yet
I'm a soul man, I'm a soul man
I'm a soul man, I'm a soul man
I was brought up, on a side street
Learned how to love, before I could eat
Hey, I was educated, from good, good stock
When I start loving I just can't stop
I'm a soul man, I'm a soul man
I'm a soul man, I'm a soul man
Grab the rope, and I'll pull you in
Give you hope, and be your only boyfriend
Ya, ya ya ya!
I'm a soul man, I'm a soul man ...
