TTTO: Soul Man
      by Isaac Hayes and David Porter

Coming for you, where two backroads meet.
Blues playing, I'll make you sound sweet,
But when you gain licks, you'll lose heaven.
You'd trade all that for flat sevenths?

I'm a soul man
…

Won't get your wish the hard way,
Never-ending practice, through each night and day.
Learn chords at ev'ry fret?
No, it's this deal or clarinet.

I'm a soul man
…

Well, sign in blood, and I've roped you in,
Gave the hope, you'd start to play like Johnson.
No (no) no (no!)

I'm a soul man
…
