Fight For My Soul Lyrics


Since she was a young girl, bought the wrong side of the tracks
Selling drugs and her body for what little she had
Doing just like her momma and her granny had done
She gonna teach her baby daughter who she will become
And it's begun
Starting all over againAnother day another dollar and the baby grows, she does
Momma keepin' secrets but baby, she already knows
Where the money comes from, diamonds and pearls
There ain't that many uncles in the world
Momma I love you, but I'm never gonna be that girlI've gotta fight for my soul, for my soul
I've gotta fight for my soul, I don't wanna give it away no more
Fight for my soul, for my soul
I've gotta fight for my soul, I don't wanna give it away no moreHe was just a young boy stumbling on his daddy's deck
He took the top off a bottle and he tipped it back
Now through the looking glass, looking back twenty plus years
He took one look and said "I ain't going out like this"
Not like my daddy didI've gotta fight for my soul, for my soul
Gotta fight for my soul, I don't wanna give it away no more

Fight for my soul, for my soul
I've gotta fight for my soul, cause I don't wanna give it away no moreI'm still the one that was left with the price to pay
But they make good on mistakes they never made
For the one that just found out we will never take control
They can take alot, but they can never take your soul

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Jonny Lang (born Jon Gordon Langseth, Jr. in Fargo, North Dakota, January 29, 1981) is a Grammy Award-winning American blues and gospel singer.

In 1995 (at the age of 14) his first album, Smokin’ by Kid Jonny Lang & The Big Bang was released. As a result of the LP becoming a regional hit, a major-label bidding war ensued that culminated in Lang signing to A&M Records in 1996. In 1997 (at the age of 15) his major-label debut, Lie to Me, was released to mixed reviews.

Part of his success is due to a voice that sounds like that of 40 year-old blues veteran, containing a harshness tempered by a fine falsetto that has taken prominence in his newest albums. Another part of his success is his scorching, electrifying guitar solos, which display a prodigious natural talent honed by years of practice and playing. Whatever the secret to his success, the youngster has quickly become a fixture in the blues world, drawing crowds wherever he goes.

Lang has drawn deeply from the wellspring of influences from the likes of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Albert King, Luther Allison, and Albert Collins. As he becomes more confident in his role as a veteran instead of a boy wonder, one can see the possibilities he has yet to share with his fans.
