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 talkin´ ´bout soul days
Talkin´ 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 rollin´ up my sleeves
Like James Dean
Thinkin´ I was still nineteen
I walked outside and looked around
My heart was pumping when I found

It´s gonna be a soul day
I laid back sunning

Sweet summer soul days

Think I´ll take my baby for a ride
Down to the back road
Out in the country
Where the summer winds blow
Over by the river
There´s a barbecue shack
Otis on the jukebox
You know, I like it like that
Oh yeah

Soul days
Dancin´ with my baby
Swayin´ to the sweet soul days

And when the sun goes down
And we´re on the road again

Those white lines runnin´ down the highway
Slowly reelin´ us in
With the radio on
Swinging to the sweet soul songs
And the music´s playin´ through the night
Takin´ us back to when everything was alright

Soul days
Talkin´ about those sweet summer soul days
I´m talkin´ ´bout soul days
I´m going back to the sweet summer soul days

[Bruce Springsteen & Sam Moore]
Soul days
Soul days
I wanna hear some Wilson Pickett
And some Joe Tex
I wanna hear some Sam & 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
