Soul Agent

I've had this song in my head for weeks. It's beautiful. Truly. I encourage you to download it and listen. It makes me want to cry every time I hear it. It's by Cross Canadian Ragweed. It's really different from their other songs. I'm not sure what a "soul agent" is, but what I get from the song is it's someone who makes you feel good...down to your soul. No matter what he/she does for a living. They just have that quality about them that makes you feel good when you are around them. I want to be that person. Here are the lyrics, which don't do it justice so download it and take a listen:

Rosie cooks with love 5 bucks a plate
and she'll cook for if you
if don't show up to late
'cuz when you're feelin' low down
as empty as a hole
go to rosie's cafe, she'll nourish your soul

(Chorus)
'Cuz she's a soul agent for the USA
she'll be here tomorrow
after she gets through t'day
yeah...)

I know this girl who makes her dollars
one at a time
she folds them lay aways under her pantie line
she wears crushed purple velvet
she's swimmin' in my mind
she's doin' what she wants to get herself by

yeah
(Chorus) x2
yeah...

Yours is the only soul you can know
and yours is the only road you can go
the finest people that you'll meet yeah
is just a man on the street

And there's a fellow i know
he moves like the shifting sands
he earns his daily bread
with his own two hands
when the weight on your shoulders
is wearing you down
well he'll do his best to bring you around

(Chorus)
'Cuz he's a soul agent for the USA
he'll be here tomorrow
after he gets through t'day

he's a soul agent for the USA
he'll be here tomorrow
after he gets through t'day
yeah...
