Soul Mining

Hey, baby

Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on

Ooh

Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, baby

Come on, come on, come on, come on

I remember the day that brother Marvin died

I played all his records and I cried and cried

Inner City Holler, let's get it on

Livin' in a time that has passed and gone

I've been soul mining, digging for gold

There's a lot of us searching, so I've been told

Tamla, Stax and Atco, don't never get old

Soul-searching something hot from the cold

Hey listen to Aretha, she's the queen of soul

The way she hits the high notes, but keeps that control

It's the sound of mercy, it's the sound of love

It's a soul power, comin' in from above

When they sing out for glory

Raise voices in praise

I wanna join that chorus

I wanna ride that train

And every problem, just melts away

I can deal with it all, I can be so brave

I'm just soul mining, digging for gold

Don't never get tired, don't never get old

Soul mining, going back in time

To when I was yours, and baby you were mine

I'm going back to my youth, to the good old days

When we all stood together with our voices raised

I'm so thankful for it all, for the grace of God

We had everything then, that a boy could want

When they sing out for glory

Raise voices in praise

I wanna join that chorus

I wanna ride that train

And every problem, just melts away

I can deal with it all, I can be so brave

Oh yeah, that's right

I'm being soul mining, digging for gold

Searching my records, showing my soul

Learning about love from Nat King Cole

Dancing my life away to Kid Creole
