Lyrics

I woke up feeling the sunshine Drift across my face It took me back to emotions From another time and place, those yesterdays Cruising in my Chevrolet I held my baby in my arms But my first love was always those songs I'm talkin' 'bout soul days Talkin' about those sweet soul days I crawled out of bed real slowly Threw on some old blue jeans I found my favorite T-shirt And started rollin' up my sleeves like James Dean Thinkin' I was still 19 I walked outside and looked around My heart was pumping when I found It's gonna be a soul day I laid back sunning Sweet summer, soul days I think I'll take my baby for a ride Down to the back road Out in the country Where the summer winds blow Over by the river There's a barbecue shack Otis on the jukebox You know I like it like that, yeah Soul days Dancin' with my baby Swayin' to the sweet, soul days And when the sun goes down And we're on the road again Those white lines runnin' down the highway Slowly reelin' us in with the radio on Swinging to the sweet soul songs And the music's playin' through the night Taking us back to when everything was alright Soul days Talking about those sweet summer, soul days I'm talkin' 'bout soul days I'm going back to the sweet summer, soul days Ooh, soul days (soul days) I wanna hear some Wilson Pickett and some Joe Tex I wanna hear some Sam and Dave (oh, listen here) Hey, Sam, I wanna hear some Aretha (I wanna hear some Ray Charles) And some Soulful Sam Cooke now (what about that?) I wanna hear some Arthur Conley (well, what about Edwin Starr?) Ha-ha-ha-ha, hell yeah
