I'm a walkin' southern bound down the highway. Cars and buses and the big trucks pass me by. I walk awhile then I thumb they must think I'm a bum. For no one will give this country boy a ride.
You're my soul song my everything-I-do song. My pick-me-up-when-I'm-blue song and that's why I sing all the time. You're my soul song and that's why I call you my solid-gold song.
She lays her head on my pillow every night she shares her dream the same dream as I. The two of us together loving and living she gives me something to believe in.
