[Verse 1]
If it came to pass
That they should ask
What could I tell them?
Would they criticize
Behind my back
Maybe I should let them

[Chorus]
Oh, if only then and only then
They would understand
They'd turn a full-blooded city boy
Into a full-blooded city man

[Verse 2]
If they could face it
I could take it
In their eyes
Oh, I know I'd make it
Their tiny minds
And sacred cows, just fake it

[Chorus]
Oh, if only then and only then
They would understand
They'd turn a full-blooded city boy
Into a full-blooded city man

[Bridge]
But I know the way
They want me
In the way they publicize
If they could turn
Their focus off
To the image in their eyes
Maybe it would help them
Help them understand
Maybe it would help them
Help them understand
Maybe it would help them
Help them understand
That a full-blooded city boy
Is now a full-blooded city man

[Outro]
Oh, my soul, oh, my soul, oh, my soul
Oh, my soul, oh, my soul, oh, my soul
Oh, my soul, oh, my soul, oh, my soul
Oh, my soul, oh, my soul, oh, my soul
Oh, my soul, oh, my soul, oh, my soul
Oh, my soul, oh, my soul, oh, my soul
Oh, my soul, oh, my soul, oh, my soul
Oh, my soul, oh, my soul, oh, my soul
Oh, my soul, oh, my soul, oh, my soul
Oh, my soul, oh, my soul, oh, my soul
