Lyrics

BACK TO THE SOUL
words & music by Grayson Hugh


Let’s go out tonight
Lord you’re a beautiful sight
my Ophelia

Lovin’ you makes me glad
move over just a tad
let me steal ya

I know a place
where the band plays real good
down by the water
gonna stomp down on the wood

The sun’s settin’ on the ridge
let’s get over that bridge
to the night

Ain’t nothin’ else to do
we gonna dance til half past two
alright

Now I like country, don’t get me wrong
I like blues and bluegrass and reggae songs
I like big band music and rock ’n roll
but sometimes you got have to
get back to the soul

I was lookin’ at you
for a good month or two
I was wonderin’

If you’d go out with me
so I asked you carefully
my heart thunderin’

When you said yes
I thought I’d lose my mind
ever since then
we’ve been havin’ such a good time

Lovin’ you more and more
gettin’ up on the floor
good and sweaty

The drummer he’s in the groove
and the guitar makes you move
are you ready?

And I like country - don’t get me wrong
I like blues and bluegrass and reggae songs
I like big band music and rock ’n roll
sometimes you just got to
get back to the soul

Give me soul music
all the way
talkin' bout Sam & Dave
and Marvin Gaye
Otis Redding
Solomon Burke
give me Wilson Pickett, Al Green,
Clarence Carter - that’ll work!
