[Verse 1]
I woke up feelin' the sunshine drift across my face
It took me back to emotions, another time and place
Those yesterdays, cruisin' in my Chevrolet
I held my baby in my arms but my first love was always the songs

[Chorus]
Talkin' 'bout soul days
Talkin' about those sweet soul days

[Verse 2]
I crawled out of bed real slowly, threw on some old blue jeans
Found my favorite T-shirt, started rollin' up my sleeves
Like James Dean, thinkin' I was still nineteen
I walked outside and looked around, my heart was pumpin' the moment I found

[Chorus]
It's gonna be a soul day
I laid back ruing sweet summer soul days

[Bridge]
Think I'll take my baby for a ride down the back roads
Out in the country where the four winds blow
Over by the river there's a barbecue shack
Otis on the jukebox, you know, I like it like that
Oh yeah
[Chorus]
Soul days
Dancin' with my baby, rockin' to the soul days

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
And when the sun goes down, we're on the road again
White line runnin' down the highway slowly reelin' us in
And the radio's on, love it when she's in my arms
All the music playin' through the night is takin' us back to when things were right

[Chorus]
Talkin' 'bout soul days
Soul days
Soul days
Dancin' with my baby (Soul days)
Rockin' to the music (Soul days)
Playin' on the radio
Sweet soul music
Talkin' 'bout music
Talkin' 'bout...
