Album Notes

SOULSHINE
(Warren Haynes)

When you can't find the light
To guide you to a brighter day
And the stars ain't shining bright
You feel like you've lost your way
When the candle lights of home
Seem to burn so very far away
Oh you got to let your soul shine
Just like my daddy used to say

He used to say
Soulshine, is better than sunshine
Better than moonshine
Better than rain
Oh now people don't mind
We all feel this way sometimes
We've got to let our soulshine
Shine on 'till the brighter day

I grew up thinking that I had it made
Thought I would make it on my own
But life will take even the strongest man
And make him feel so all alone
Now and then I feel the cold wind
Blowing through my aching bones
I think back to what my daddy said
Boy ain't the darkness just before the dawn
He said Soulshine, is better than sunshine
Better than moonshine
Damn sho better than rain
Oh now people don't mind
We all feel this way sometimes
And we got to let our soul shine
Shine on until the brighter day

Now sometimes a man
Can feel this emptiness
Kinda like a woman
Has robbed him of his very soul
But a woman she too God knows
She can feel like this
And when the world seems cold
You've got to let your spirit
Let your spirit take control
You got to let your soulshine
It's better than sunshine
Better than moonshine
Better than rain
Oh now people don't mind
We all feel this way sometimes
We've got to let our soulshine
Shine on until the brighter day
