Average White Band - Soul Searching Lyrics






Sometimes I'm lazy or maybe just holding back
Anyway it's hard to know the difference
Sometimes I get crazy
But if I do it doesn't matter, no no
What I'm doing is
Soul searching
Digging a little bit deeper everyday, everyday
Soul searching
Looking inside trying to find the way
That it all adds up to what I'm trying to say no no, yeah
It's nothing game about tired hope you get inspired
Got to find your imagination oh
All it needs is one spark to kindle fire within your body
So you see me really
Soul searching
Digging a little bit deeper everyday, everyday
Soul searching
Looking inside trying to find the way that it all adds up to what we have to say
And it ain't no harm in trying anyway, anyway
Sometimes we make music
Sometimes we make love

Still we keep on trying
Soul searching
Digging a little bit deeper everyday baby, everyday
Soul searching
Looking inside trying to find the way baby
Soul searching
Digging a little bit deeper everyday, everyday
That it all adds up to what we're trying to say
It's no use no use crying to yourself girl
No and it ain't no harm in trying anyway
What we're doing is soul searching searching searching

  23. D.... C....

    j'adore grave.

  24. V.... G....

    They definitely deserve an unsung episode

  25. A.... S....

    I remembered back in the middle 70s when I first heard this group on the radio I thought they were black. This legendary Band is from Scotland, and they know how to Jammm.

    A.... S....

    Most people thought they were..the pop lockers loved them

    A.... S....

    @Darhyl Lacy lolo as an average white man from dundee scotland the spiritual home of the AWB i knew they were white and i laugh my head off at the fact that many cool brothers had difficulty getting their heads around that fact , i think it pissed james brown off no end , they knew who they were/are and there love of american jazz funk and soul should make everyone smile ,theirs is the ultimate compliment to a wonderful style of music ,embraced to the max by average white scottish guys

    A.... S....

    @jim hutchison it never surprised me that they were not Americans. Your side of the globe has always embraced and respected Black oriented music to a higher degree than Many Americans have.

  26. T.... P....

    Pure.. deep...sounder R&B funk soul...This is a serious, crisp groove! Thank you AWB for this special album. When this album came out, it took the world by surprise and took us all on a much deeper appreciation of REAL music and musical instruments!

  27. P.... M....

    See these guys did their homework... It didn't matter about colours it was the funk that ppl wanted.

    P.... M....

    as someone who comes from scotland ,dundee in fact ,why do you guys keep going on about colour , its not about colour its the music that matters

    P.... M....

    Right:-)!

  28. M.... M....

    takes me back

  29. J.... H....

    :Love AWB . This is the talent many bands today lack. No computer generated sound here. Thank you Canada!

    J.... H....

    These guys were Scottish (in case you didn't know!)

    J.... H....

  37. p.... d....

    still one of the best!

  38. s.... w....

    3:02-3:18 is the best part

  39. T.... M....

    Rick Ross isn't the only one who's producers used this sample. It was First sampled by young chris' producers on the song named searching featuring wale. Check it out. The song is dope and the beat is actually way harder than the one rick Ross used. Look for young Chris feat wale searching. SUPER DOPE LYRICS AND THE BEAT IS CRAZY. in all honesty, I think who ever did Ross beat was directly influenced by the young Chris beat, more than just the sample alone

    T.... M....

    Todd Maek agreed but Ross version isn't shabby either but young Chris has the better version.

  40. j.... h....

    loved it when it first came out ,still love it , it stands my test of time , superb

  41. D.... D....

    There are still people who are trying to play this song on the drums he was the one and only ,

  42. J.... ....

    3:06 Rich is Gangsta nigga

    J.... ....

    👌👌

    J.... ....

    @JaeAmaze90 And 3:02

  43. D.... S....

    Omg....rick ross sampled this for rich is gangsta. Great sample and even better tune!

    D.... S....

    SHO-NUFF!✌

    D.... S....

    Did Rick Ross pay AWB for sampling there music?

  44. s.... m....

    WOW I was a 16 yr old living da sex,drugs and rock n roll life, how we survived I don't no, thanx 4 pos L78lancer, lots of memories

  45. G.... '....

    . . 1LL . .

  46. F.... N....

    AWB rocks! I remember being in college and the guy in the dorm room next to mine was playing "A Love of Your Own". I didn't believe they were white guy. Picked up their greatest hits album a few weeks later and have been a fan ever since. Good music is like fine wine: It gets better as time passes.

  47. T.... ....

    The best AWB album, by far, was "Soul Searching."

  48. W.... P....

    Wow! All thumbs up and NO thumbs down.
    Absolutely no one can can not like this jam and the Average White Band. One of my favorite ALL time bands...when music was had MEANING. Who else agrees with this old time young DAWG?:)

  49. d.... w....

    Thanks for posting! As a child of the 70's I really enjoy finding these old tracks on YouTube. This was when we had actual music, where people sang and played instruments. I'm so glad I grew up in this era.
