Soul Education

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I didn't have much time for school Spent my days breaking the rules and regulations And in between me having fun All the teachers told me, "Son, get an education" So I held my badge of freedom Dressed like a man fit for all seasons, hey I'm stepping out, so cut me loose And as Mama waved goodbye Tears were welling in her eyes But she don't need them I turned to her and said [Chorus] Got my soul education You know it's stitched into the clothes that I wear Got my life information Upon the breeze that's blowing through my hair Got a pocketful of rainbows Oh! And a sky to put them in, so blue So let that music come and save you I've found a god that I can pray to Deep inside my soul - hey!
