Don't Try To Save My Soul

I didn't know what time it was

The moment I was born

I only knew the time was right

On that October morn

I hit the ground without a plan

I opened up my eyes

And pretty soon I figured out

I'd won the booby prize

Don't try to save my soul

Don't try to save my soul

I only did what I had to do

Don't try to save my soul

What is the word I'm looking for?

One everybody knows?

Up to now it's eluded me

Was never even close

I don't know if it exists

I know it can't be bought

And when I got a taste of it

It wasn't what I thought

Don't try to save my soul

Don't try to save my soul

I only did what I had to do

Don't try to save my soul

I spent my life on cruise control

Don't try to save my soul

I'm going deeper down the rabbit hole

Don't try to save my soul

There is a place called happiness

They said, "Go seek it, boy"

They didn't tell me where to look

To find the real McCoy

I stumbled round for nigh on forty years

To work out who I am

Now I ain't gonna change for anyone

'Cause I don't give a damn

Don't try to save my soul

Don't try to save my soul

I only did what I had to do

Don't try to save my soul

Don't try to topple my totem pole

Don't try to save my soul

Now I'm a slave for rock and roll

So you can't save my soul

You can't save my soul

You can't save my soul

Don't try

Don't try (You can't save my soul)

Don't try (You can't save my soul)

No, no, you can't (You can't save my soul)

You can't (You can't save my soul)

You can't (You can't save my soul)

You can't save my soul (You can't save my soul)

You can't save my soul (You can't save my soul)

You can't save my soul
