REAL SOUL
(Words and music by Douglas Hinton)

Here's a song I wrote
A musical thank you note

From Ho Chi Minh City
West to Brittany
Came a gentle soul
With a lifelong love of rock 'n' roll
Through his ups and downs
He toughed it out and he stayed around
In a shallow world
His values are not easily found

'Cause he's got passion
Real soul
He's one of a kind
With a heart of gold
Real soul
And a diamond mind
In a cutthroat world
Real soul
Where mostly phonies thrive
He's living proof integrity's alive

Here's a song I wrote
A musical thank you note

The first time I
Played in his little bar
What struck me most
Was just how cold other barmen are
They don't have a clue
About anything apart from selling booze
They should watch my friend
He could certainly teach them a thing or two

'Cause he's got passion
Real soul
He's one of a kind
With a heart of gold
Real soul
And a diamond mind
In a cutthroat world
Real soul
Where mostly phonies thrive
He's living proof integrity's alive

Here's a song I wrote
A musical thank you note

Instead of money
He gives humanity
Rather than hype
He likes artists of the genuine type
He swaps fake stars
For real people who share their art
Everything he does
Bears the mark of all his soul and heart

'Cause he's got passion
Real soul
He's one of a kind
With a heart of gold
Real soul
And a diamond mind
In a cutthroat world
Real soul
Where mostly phonies thrive
He's living proof integrity's alive
He's living proof integrity's alive
He's living proof integrity's alive

There's a song I wrote
A musical thank you note
