Simple Soul Lyrics

Looks like Im down to my last cigarette

I guess that means

Its time to go to bed

I gotta get up early

To chase the sun

Cause this ol' boy's got a lot of work to do

Sure as hell aint getting done without the blues

That's part of life

And it'll have to do

Cause' Im a simple soul

With nowhere to go

Except for where I am now

Well I need a drink or two

My bible and you

To keep me from going hell bound

Well it takes a hard working blue collared man

Working 40 hours for a man

Who just don't give a damn

About my cut, callused hands

And tomorrow morning Ill wake up

Ill get on in to that truck

Back to work to make a buck

I just ran fresh out of luck

Im a simple soul

With nowhere to go

Except for where I am now

I need a drink or two

My bible and you

To keep me from going hell bound

Well I can't take this train off its damn tracks

Id I do I sure as hell aint ever turning back

There's more to this world than what my mind sees

But bustin my ass for all these years as taught me

There's a few thing you don't take advantage of

That's your friends and your family

But most of all love

Im a simple soul

With nowhere to go

Well I need a drink or two

My bible and you

Well the days are short and the nights are long

Only therapy for me is right in these songs

So some ol' boy can sing along

And know right where he belongs
