SOUL FULLA' SUNSHINE
I’ve been ridin’ down these back roads
Half my life in eighteen wheels
Coffee cups and county lines
Tryin’ to outrun how lonely feels
Had a wild heart in my younger days
Took some hits life handed down
Now the silence in this little room
Is the loudest sound around
I ain’t bitter, baby
Just a little worn
Still got a flame inside me
Though the fire’s been torn
‘Cause I got a whole lotta love
And nowhere to lay it down
A good heart beatin’ steady
In a world spinnin’ me around
I’ve seen dark nights and hard times
But I still believe somehow
There’s somebody out there waitin’
For the man I am right now
Yeah, I may be lost
But I know love ain’t gone
I got a soul full of sunshine
Just waitin’ to come on
Only loved for real a time or two
And that was years ago
Sometimes I wonder if I forgot
The way you’re supposed to hold somebody close
Been alone so long now
Change feels strange to me
But every mornin’ through that window light
Feels a little more like hope to see
And I still smile at strangers
Still stop to help a friend
Maybe that means my heart’s still good
Maybe this ain’t the end
‘Cause I got a whole lotta love
And nowhere to lay it down
A good heart beatin’ steady
In a world spinnin’ me around
Lost my job and lost direction
But I’m still standin’ proud
There’s somebody out there waitin’
For the man I am right now
Yeah, the road got rough
But it taught me to be strong
I got a soul full of sunshine
Just waitin’ to come on
Maybe love’s been drivin’ beside me all this time
Maybe I was too hurt to see the signs
But these days I can feel somethin’ changin’ in the wind
Like life might finally let me love again
I got a whole lotta love
And I’m ready now to give
No more runnin’ from tomorrow
No more just barely livin’
I survived my hard years
Now brighter days are callin’ loud
And somewhere out there waitin’
Is the one who’ll turn me around
Yeah, I ain’t finished
No, my best days ain’t gone
I got a soul full of sunshine
And a heart that still holds on
Mmm…
A lonely man can still find love someday
Oh yes he can…
Just gotta keep a little faith
And let the light find its way…
