Bruce Springsteen - Soul Days Lyrics

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 talking 'bout

Soul days

Talking 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 rolling up my sleeves

Like James Dean

Thinking I was still nineteen

I walked outside and looked around

My heart was pumping when I found



There's gonna be a

Soul day

A laid back sunning, sweet summer soul days



I think I'll take my baby for a ride down the back road

Out in the country where the summer winds blow

Over by the river there's a barbecue shack

Oh, it's on the jukebox

You know I like it like that (yeah)



Soul days

Dancing with my baby

Swaying to the sweet soul days



And when the sun goes down

And we're on the road again

Those white lines running down the highway

Slowly reeling us in

With the radio on

Singing to the sweet soul songs

And the music's playing through the night

Taking us back when everything was alright



Soul days

Talking about those sweet, summer soul days

I'm talking 'bout soul days

I'm going back to the sweet, summer soul days

Mmhm, soul days (soul days)

I wanna hear some Wilson Pickett, 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?
