Soul Thing

Ive been traveling all these yearsJust barely getting by.The road can be your friendOr the devil in disguise.When the tough get goingThe muses visit me.Yet in soft low tonesThey always say to meSay to me"It aint no groove thingIt aint no country twangIts a simple refrain;Its a soul thang." [2x]Where the city street meets the county roadWhere the sun is nice and warmNo matter how long I may roamThis song still takes us homeTakes us home.Now well tell you about these timesWhen the blues come out to playAnd jazz leaves her number...Its funny she always says:"It aint no groove thingIt aint no country twangIts a simple refrain;Its a soul thang." [2x]Now Ill tell you about these timesWhen the blues come out to play
