Listen to me, baby; the lights are way down low
There's a stack of records on the stereo
Let yourself unwind, girl; we're gonna take a journey down to rhythm
& blues
Ridin' on a soul train, yeah baby just-a me & you
You don't have to hurry on a soul train ride
You don't have to worry; let your troubles slide
Dancin' to the music, maybe we can travel till we're out of sight
Yeah, & everything'll be all right
(instrumental, with ad-lib "All aboard!")
Groovin' slow & easy, just takin' our time
We ain't goin' nowhere, for baby I don't mind
So put your arms around me; we're gonna take a journey down to rhythm
& blues
Ridin' on a soul train, yeah baby just-a me & you
Ridin' on a soul train, baby
Oh ridin' on a soul train, yeah
...& fade
I'd never planned to fall in love; I'd sold it 'round the stars
But she had that look in her eyes & I had a change of heart
I tried my best to say goodbye, but every time I'd start
She'd get that look in her eyes & I'd have a change of heart
(x2, instrumental between times):
I knew that she was changin' me, but I never realized
That I was leanin' on her, dependin' on her, until to my surprise
One day she found somebody new & tore my world apart
Now I say a prayer every night that she'll have a change of heart
Midnight
(B. Buie/J.R. Cobb/Gordy)
When the sun comes up in the mornin' till the shadows start to fade
I think about a midnight long ago
I remember midnight kisses & the magic of a smile
& the midnight moon above like it used a crown
(Ooo Midnight, ooo Midnight)
My days are lonely without you
It was 12 o'clock when I met her, & her hair was raven black
So I used to call her Midnight just for fun
We were laughing through the darnkess, making wishes on a star
& every wish came true except for one
(Ooo Midnight, ooo Midnight)
My days are lonely without you
(instrumental)
(Ooo Midnight, ooo Midnight)
My days are lonely without you
& now I'm always midnight blue
The funniest thing happened to me yesterday
I ran into ol' you-know-who by mistake
She was out on the town with her new honey
Havin' a ball, spendin' his money
Oh it was the funniest thing
You should've seen that innocent look on her face
As he held her close, rumpled her hair out of place
You should've heard her callin' him baby
Makin' him moan, drivin' him crazy
Oh it was the funniest thing
But she introduced me to her new love
I thought to myself that soon he'll discover
Ooo she did the funniest thing
As they walked away, I couldn't help wonderin' why
Such funny things make me cry
Oh I thought that I could make it without her
Maybe I could, but there's somethin' about her
Oh it's the funniest thing
Ooo it's the funniest thing
Where Did All The Good Times Go
We lived in the country when I was a child
You lived up the highway, 'bout half a mile
We laughed away the hours, runnin' to & fro
Tell me baby, where did the good times go?
I can still remember summers in the shade
Winters by the fireplace, the promises we made
You said you'd always love me; what happened, I don't know
Baby, where did all the good times go?
Bridge:
Where did all the good times go? Where did they go?
Tell me, woman, if you know; where did the good times go?
(instrumental)
(repeat verse 2)
(repeat bridge & fade)
CHORUS:
Mamas & papas don't understand, no
Mamas & papas don't understand
We like our music fast & loud
We like to go where there's a crowd
We talk for hours on the phone
We've got a language of our own
(chorus)
I've got a girl with golden hair
I'd take her with me everywhere
She's all I'm ever dreamin' of
But Papa says we're too young to love
(repeat chorus & fade)
