Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Comin' to ya
On a dusty road
Good lovin'
I've got a truck load
And when you get it
You got somethin'
So don't worry
Cause I'm comin'

I'm a soul man
I'm a soul man
I'm a soul man
I'm a soul man

Got what I got
The hard way
And I'll make better
Each and every day
So honey
Now don't you fret
Cause you ain't seen
Nothin' yet

I'm a soul man
I'm a soul man
I'm a soul man
I'm a soul man

Now grab the rope
And I'll pull you in
Give you hope
And be your only boyfriend
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah

I'm a soul man
I'm a soul man
I'm a soul man
I'm a soul man




You're a soul man
I'm a soul man
