Keep My Soul Alive (words & music by Roy Evan Burstiner)
It’s five o’clock on a Friday, & the work week is finally through
I wipe the sweat from my brow, feel the ache in my back
As I look forward to getting home to you.
The locker room’s filled with the dark & despair,
as I change into my street clothes
I put on my t-shirt and my old blue jeans,
on my way home I buy you a rose.
Cause tonight you'll keep my soul alive,
with your kisses through and through
In a world that tries to break my heart
All I ever need is you.
Well I'm late for work as I overslept
And the pick-up engine just won't go
I get chewed out by the boss when I get there at ten
For that paycheck that is much to low
When I get home you turn on the radio
And we dance around the kitchen floor
You throw your arms all around the back of my neck
Just to show me what we're living for
Cause tonight you'll keep my soul alive,
with your kisses through and through
In a world that tries to break my heart
Al l I ever need is you
Cause tonight you'll keep my soul alive,
with your kisses through and through
In a world that tries to break my heart
All I ever need is you
Well the night is dark and rainy,
And the winds blowing through my bones
I punch out my time card, torn and ragged
Then I jump in the truck and head home
I find you standing in the doorway
In a sheer little lacy thing
And you kiss me hard and you kiss me long
Then you take my hand that holds our ring
Cause tonight you'll keep my soul alive,
with your kisses through and through
In a world that tries to break my heart
All I ever need is you
So tonight you'll keep my soul alive,
And you'll show me what a man can do
With a girl that loves me with all her heart
All I ever need is you
