Wild Hearted Son

Wild hearted son
Baby, the world didn"t want me to run
To try and break me down to my knees, yeah
Wild hearted, yeah-yeah, yeah

Well now
You know, I shoot from the hip now
My fist raised in the air
I"m a whirlwind dreamer, baby
With my head high in the clouds, yeah

Ow, don"t take me too lightly
I got the blues power, baby
I"m just a breed of society
I"m pushin" hard and stealin" free
Don"t you try to lay no trip on me, yeah

I"m a wild hearted son
I"m comin" down like a rolling stone
Wild hearted son, yeah
I"m a wild hearted son
Hey mama, the world didn"t want me to run
Wild hearted son

Ow, I was born to the city
But I longed to roam free
Got a screaming horse in my belly
Scar on my heart
I live outside of convention
You know the people who stare
I"m just a breed of society
I"m pushin" hard and I"m stealin" free
Don"t try to lay no trip on me, whoa

Cause I"m a wild hearted son
I"m comin" down like a rolling stone, yeah
Wild hearted son
I"m a wild hearted son
Lil" honey, the world didn"t want me to run, yeah
Wild hearted son

Baby, baby, yeah-yeah

Wild hearted son, yeah
The world didn"t want me to run
Try to break me down, down...

I"m a wild hearted son
I"m comin" down like a rolling stone, yeah
Wild hearted son
I"m a wild hearted son
Lil" honey, the world didn"t want me to run
Wild hearted son, son, baby, yeah



Heart of Soul 

Down and out in London
Los Angeles and Paris, too, uh-huh
I drank a river in my time
To get on through, yeah

Well, the night, it rise above you, rise above me
And the blues, they swirl around me

To the heart of soul
You got to bleed a little while you sing
Lest the words don"t mean nothing, no
Get to the heart of soul
Gotta get to the heart of soul, yeah

Get to the hip, now baby
"Fore the hip get to you, lil" woman
Try to bend me out of shape
Can"t tell me, can"t tell me what to do, little honey

Well, the night, it rise above me, rise above me, yeah
And those blues, they swirl around me, ooh, ooh

To the heart of soul
You gotta bleed a little while you sing
Lest the words don"t mean nothing, no
Ow, get to the heart of soul, yeah
Gotta get to the heart of soul

You gotta bleed a little while your singing, yeah, yeah, yeah
Lest the words don"t mean nothing, no
Get to the heart of soul, yeah
Baby, heart of soul, ow

Down on the river

In the world today now
A little bit of heart of soul now
In the world today
A little bit of soul now
A little heart of so-so-so-so, soul

You gotta bleed a little while your singing, yeah, yeah, yeah
Lest the words don"t mean nothing, no they don"t, no
