Soul Days (feat. Sam Moore)

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
