Lyrics
Still My Soul
Me and the boys playin' rock and roll
Nobody here ever sold their soul!
Everybody wants a little silver and gold
But what's the price! Still my soul!
You're gonna hear some good old Rhode Island blues
You're gonna dance so hard you're gonna lose your shoes!
Grab a piece of wood, stretch the strings 'till they're in tune
And I promise you, you'll be famous soon!
You meet a man, he says sign right here
You're better off jus' havin' another beer!
Poor me! Now I got a bug in my ear!
But it's all just a myth from yesteryear!
He don't care if you can rock and roll
Nobody here ever sold their soul!
Sign me up for a cinnamon roll
That'll do the trick! Still my soul!
-- instrumental --
Ladies and Gentlemen make me whole ...
Nobody here ever sold their soul!
Listenin' to the birds down by the watering hole
Hush honey hush - Still my soul!
- Mark Urso
