Dan Bern Soul
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
pennies 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 20 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 leanin 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 comin 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 glass
All the money in the world won't buy back a day of the
past
I hear that you've been cryin, I want to tell you that
it's OK
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
