[Verse 1]
C
Moving out to California, I've been living in Missouri too long
         F                                              C
When the sun sets tomorrow your soul rocking love'll be gone
             G                                                            C
And I really doubt that I'll be back because I'm taking everything that I own

[Verse 2]
C
Bright lights, big city, I am ready, ready, ready for you
    F                                             C
Bye-bye, Alma Mater, I've got to see what I can do
              G                                           C
Just tell the folks back home I'm on a soul rockin' rendezvous

[Verse 3]
C
No more yak-a-ty yak-a-ty, farewell, my best to you
             F                                             C
You know you kept on teasing me just to see what I would do
                G                                                    C
Now, I've got a soul rocker baby, see if you can get yourself one, too

[Verse 4]
C
Oh, soul rockin', baby, you know you make my head act up
    F                                      C
Oh, send me, send me, deliver me into your world
       G                                                 C
Let me loose, let me live, let me love a soul rockin' girl
