Lyrics
Comin' to you on a dusty road
Embarking on a journey along a dusty road.
Good lovin', I got a truckload
Expressing abundance of affection, as in having a truckload of love.
And when ya get it, ha
Upon receiving this love, something special is gained.
You got somethin'

So don't worry, cause I'm comin'
Assuring the recipient not to worry because more love is on the way.
I'm a soul man

I'm a soul man
-I'm a soul man
-I'm a soul man
-Got what I got the hard way
Indicating that what the speaker possesses has been earned through difficulties.
And I'll make it better
Promising improvement and betterment each day.
Each and every day
-So honey don't you fret

Cos you ain't seen nothing yet
Suggesting that the best is yet to come.

Stating the ability to love developed early in life.

Referencing an education or experience at Woodstock, a symbol of cultural significance.
When I start lovin'
Expressing intense and unstoppable love once initiated.
Oh I can't stop
