Oh My Soul

You could shape me into something, You could drag me up from nothing Like a drowning boy pulled up by his heels And I might just give in Give my whole world a spin And straighten up stronger than steel See I could jump over buildings I could save all the children's If I trade in my feet for these shoes But as time they get old and the years make me strong And I still find my weakness in you Oh my soul I can't quite make it alone Oh my soul I can't quite make it alone You've been patching up my engines You've been oiling my decisions I've been trying to steer straight for a while Yeah but when I think I reached the end a road sign signals turn again I screech my wheels and pull out in style See I could jump over buildings I could save all the children's If I trade in my feet for these shoes But as time they get old and the years make me strong And I still find my weakness in you Oh my soul I can't quite make it alone Oh my soul I can't quite make it alone And a little lady say it lays alone inside her room so shady With all the lights turned down and the mind turned on While I'm strumming on that guitar And wishing on a distant star with all My life cut short and my dreams spread long And she said maybe I will go to Spain I don't even need an airplane I'll get there some how just you watch Oh but it's me that can't stop watching Her with a glass of wine and mind so sure I'd let her in if I thought she'd let me off Oh my soul (my soul, my soul) I can't quite make it alone Oh my soul (my soul I can't quite make it alone I can't quite make it alone I can't quite make it alone
