Dan Bern - Soul lyrics

Are you gonna scribble in the dark with a marker Or do you gotta have the latest pen If you tell a good joke and somebody laughs Do we gotta hear it over again If you give someone a present is it just to make 'em happy Or just to keep 'em at bay Are you gonna follow your soul Are you gonna follow your soul Are you gonna follow your soul Or just the style of the day Or just the style of the day Win a penny, lose a penny, here's a penny Penny, penny penny's gonna come and go How many years will you sit there waiting For the wind to change how it blows Do the skeletons in your closet All got twenty pairs of shoes to choose from, baby Are you gonna follow your soul Are you gonna follow your soul Are you gonna follow your soul Or just the style of the day Or just the style of the day Now there are changes coming down between you and I Lions gotta roar and monkeys gotta bonk Birds gotta swim, fish gotta fry It's just a question I ain't necessarily leaning either way Are you gonna follow your soul Are you gonna follow your soul Are you gonna follow your soul Or just the style of the day Or just the style of the day Now I feel the changes coming from the north Old Man Winter's gonna blow us off the porch And back inside Every time I go downtown I see something beautiful behind gla** All the money in the world can't buy back a day of your past I hear that you been crying, I wanna tell you that it's okay Are you gonna follow your soul Are you gonna follow your soul Are you gonna follow your soul Or just the style of the day Or just the style of the day Are you gonna follow your soul Are you gonna follow your soul Are you gonna follow your soul Or just the style of the day Or just the style of the day Or just the style of the day
