Are you gonna scribble in the dark with a marker, or do you gotta have the latest pen If you tell a good joke and somebody laughs, do we gotta hear it over again If you give someone a present is it just to make 'em happy, or just to keep 'em at bay Are you gonna follow your soul Are you gonna follow your soul Are you gonna follow your soul Or just the style of the day Or just the style of the day Win a penny, lose a penny, here's a penny, penny-penny pennies gonna come and go How many years will you sit there waiting for the wind to change how it blows Do the skeletons in your closet all got 20 pairs of shoes to choose from, baby Are you gonna follow your soul Are you gonna follow your soul Are you gonna follow your soul Or just the style of the day Or just the style of the day Now there are changes coming down, between you and I Lions gotta roar and monkeys gotta bonk birds gotta swim, fish gotta fry It's just a question, I ain't necessarily leanin either way Are you gonna follow your soul Are you gonna follow your soul Are you gonna follow your soul Or just the style of the day Or just the style of the day Now I feel the changes comin from the north Old man winter's gonna blow us off the porch--and back inside Every time I go downtown I see something beautiful behind glass All the money in the world won't buy back a day of the past I hear that you've been cryin, I want to tell you that it's OK Are you gonna follow your soul Are you gonna follow your soul Are you gonna follow your soul Or just the style of the day Or just the style of the day
