Story Behind the Song
Live the words, don't "smoke" your soul, let it guide you to happiness!
Lyrics
I've been thinkin', I've been wonderin' what I should do about my life
Every day I run into thousands of people, like myself, who're full of strife
Your mind's eye gets caught up in the little day to day things and loses sight of what's really right.
You've got to get some glasses so you can see straight, so you can sleep at night.
You've got to, do what, do what, do what, do what, do what your soul says
Do what, do what, do what, do what, do what your soul says
You've got to stop that Soul Smokin', back peddlin', mind messin',
Thinkin' about things that don't really count anyhow.
You've gotta stop that, Soul Smokin', back peddling, mind messin',
Thinking about things that don't really count anyhow.
You've got to, do what, do what, do what, do what, do what your soul says
You've got to, do what, do what, do what, do what, do what your soul says
Gotta start taking care of one another, this will bring real meaning to your life
Gotta start taking care of one another, gotta pay life's manditory tithe.
Little children, growin' up, watch their parents turn into squirrels
Say, "Hey what's up with that?"
They grow up, move out, and buy a house,
Then they throw away the "Welcome Mat"
Your mind's eye gets hung up in the little day-to-day things
And loses sight of what's really right
You've gotta get some glasses, so you can see straight
So you can sleep at night
You've got to, do what, do what, do what, do what, do what your soul says
You've got to, do what, do what, do what, do what, do what your soul says
You've got to, do what, do what, do what, do what, do what your soul says
You've got to, do what, do what, do what, do what, do what your soul says
do what your soul says, do what your soul says, do what your soul says!
