Lyrics for Soulshine by Gov't Mule

I love the Warren Hayes version of this Allman Brothers Band track. I know I'm not adding any value here because there is no translation or interpretation but I could not resist.

Soul Shine

When you cant find the light
That guides you through a cloudy day

When the stars ain't shining bright
And you feel like you've lost your way

When the candle lights of home
Burn so very far away

Well you got to let your soul shine
Just like my daddy used to say

He used to say soul shine
Its better than sunshine
Its better than moonshine
Damn sure better than rain

Hey now people don't mind
We all get this way sometimes
Got to let your soul shine
Shine till the break of day

I grew up thinking that I had it made
Gonna make it on my own

But life can take the strongest man
And make him feel so alone

Now and then I feel a cold wind
Blowing through my aching bones

I think back to what my daddy said
He said Boy, in the darkness before the dawn

Let your soul shine
Its better than sunshine
Its better than moonshine
Damn sure better than rain

Yeah now people don't mind
We all get this way sometimes
Got to let your soul shine
Shine till the break of day

Sometimes a man can feel this emptiness
Like a woman has robbed him of his very soul

A woman too, God knows,
she can feel like this

And when your world seems cold
You got to let your spirit take control

Let your soul shine
Its better than sunshine
Its better than moonshine
Damn sure better than rain

Lord now people don't mind
We all get this way sometimes
Got to let your soul shine
Shine till the break of day
