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
