Trusting Old Soul
Trusting Old Soul: Embracing Life's Quirks with Steve Forbert
Lyrics
I'm a trusting old soul, babe,
I have a naturally trusting nature, my dear
And I guess I'll never change
And it seems unlikely that I'll undergo a fundamental change
I'm a trusting old soul
Reiterating my trusting nature
And I guess that I'm never gonna change
Emphasizing that this characteristic is likely permanent
I've done it all the hard way
I've experienced life's challenges firsthand
And I dug it, too
I faced difficulties, and I enjoyed the experience
I'm just that strange
Confirming that my behavior is peculiar or unique
I'm a trusting old soul, babe,
Restating my trusting nature
And I guess I'll always be
And it seems that this quality will endure
I'm a trusting old soul
Reaffirming my inherent trust in people
And I guess that I'll always be
Indicating a belief that this trust is a lasting trait
I drive down by the poorhouse
Describing a visit to impoverished areas
And ev'rybody looks like me
Noticing a resemblance between myself and the people there
I'm a trusting old soul, babe,
Confirming my trusting nature once again
And I guess I'll never learn
Expressing a doubt about ever gaining wisdom
I'm a trusting old soul
Reiterating my trusting disposition
And I guess that I'll never learn
Believing that learning from experiences is unlikely
I walk out in my swimsuit
Narrating an incident of wearing a swimsuit
And ev'rytime I wind up burned
Revealing a pattern of getting hurt in such situations
I'm a trusting old soul, babe,
Repeating the acknowledgment of my trusting nature
And I guess I'll never see
Expressing skepticism about gaining insight
I'm a trusting old soul
Reiterating my trusting disposition
And I guess that I'll never see
Doubting the possibility of developing a discerning outlook
There's so many salesmen
Observing the prevalence of salesmen targeting individuals like me
In line to meet a mark like me
Suggesting vulnerability to deception
I'm a trusting old soul, babe,
Affirming the enduring nature of my trusting personality
And I guess I'll stay that way
Accepting that I'll likely remain trusting
I'm a trusting old soul, doll
Using endearment to address someone
I guess I'm gonna stay that way
Acknowledging the persistence of my trusting nature
The birds are busy singin'
Noting the cheerful singing of birds
I can hear 'em any clear, blue day
Hearing birds on any clear, blue day
Yeah, the birds are busy singin'
Repeating the observation of birds singing
I hear 'em any clear, blue day
Noting the consistency of bird sounds
Birds are busy singin'
Reiteration of birds singing on clear, blue days
I hear 'em any clear, blue day
