That Soul Twist

another night
      another show
another day
      so far to go
a couple hours
      motel room
I'll be back
      on the highway soon

forget tomorrow
      & the jam yr in
yr  alive right now
     as you ever been
the line I shoot
     will never miss

THAT'S THE OLD SOUL TWIST

the judge ignored
      yr earnest pleas
truth was bought
      lies were eased
come on down
      try to sleep
rest your eyes
      stay off your feet

you can walk the moon
      or swim the sea
if its not too late
      it'll never be
hold the treasure
      in yr fist
let it go:

THAT'S THE OLD SOUL TWIST

bang it dang it
      hang it on the wall
throw it out window
      run & catch it 'fore it falls
used to go like that
      & now it goes like this:  

TIME TO DO THAT OLD SOUL TWIST

preasures on
       moneys tight
everything
       will be alright
stay awake
       stay alert
do the things
       you know will work

the only strength
      is the strength to live
the only life
      is the life we give
live to give
      that's the word
& all the wisdom
      that I've heard
used to go like that
      & now it goes like this:
