(Rodney Crowell) Soul mate I see you down there waiting For mornin' to softly be comin' I find I'm only in deeper and you'd be a leaver If you waren't so scared. Your true love has made you feel better but look out for later When she makes you feel worse Times change in daydreams and flashes A taste of the past is all I have seen. But you're supposed to be feeling good now 'Cause everybody said you would Honey, does it blow your mind That the prophets would lie. You're supposed to be in your prime now Not supposed to be wasting your time Just feeling like you're down and out Over someone like me. --- Instrumental --- Soul mate the blues are deceiving It keeps us believeing we're on the wrong road One side is just like the other Except for the color and size of the load. And just how much it shows. But you're supposed to be feeling good now 'Cause everybody said you would Honey, does it blow your mind That the prophets would lie. You're supposed to be in your prime now Not supposed to be wasting your time Just feeling like you're down and out Over someone like me...
