Body & Soul Songtext
von The Milk Carton Kids

I′ve been gone a long, long time been living on the road
Everywhere I'm going, I′m on my own
Heavens me, I've never seen the way it takes its toll
My body and my soul been missing never to be found
Been spinning round and round and round in every god damned town

Now I'm taking off the shoes from my feet, stripping down the sheets
Searching in my heart and mind, trying to make the tweaks
Not to be afraid of all the dying I′ve been doing in my dreams
Maybe I′m a baby, now I'm getting on my feet

Take me home, I′ve never known no calm nor any peace
All I need is sweet Howdy at my feet
Heavens me, I finally see the place I long to go
My body and my soul been missing never to be found
Been spinning round and round and round in every god damned town


Now I'm taking off the shoes from my feet, stripping down the sheets
Searching in my heart and mind, trying to make the tweaks
Not to be afraid of all the dying I′ve been doing in my dreams
Maybe I'm a baby, now I′m getting on my feet

Rock me lady, rock me baby, rock me all night long
It's not the kind of party you think we're throwing
Heavens me, I′m trying to see the way to find that peace
My body and my soul been fixing to rectify control
Been listening all around the world
Been searching, finally found that girl
My person went down to the court

Got hooked up
Took her back to our home
We cooked up dinner then got stoned
Got smoked up
Now we sing this song and it goes
On and on and on and on and on and on and on
Goes on so god damned long


Now I′m takin' off the shoes from my feet, stripping down the sheets
Facing how I feel, I′m trying to keep it real
After all this time, hell no, I ain't dyin′ my sleep
Maybe I'm a baby, now I′m getting on my feet
