What we're gonna do right here is go back, way back, back into time(Donny Hathaway, Leena Horne)(Miss Aretha, [The Real Thing] James Brown, Billie Holiday)(Stevie Wonder, Gladys Knight, Louis Armstrong)(Minnie Riperton, Otis Redding, Etta James)Back in the day, they used to say: play that song, get it going and the band playedAnd still today, you hear us say: play that song all night long, mr. DJThough times have changed, it's still the same, we all need a minute to get awaySo let it go and feel the flow, if you got soul, let the world knowWe're gonna set the mood, gonna go back to an old school grooveGonna rewind to another time, when the originators, innovators were alive, yeahSo break out the Marvin Gaye and Etta James, your Lady Day, and ColtraneTurn up your 45's, bring back to life the sound and vibe of yesterdayOpen your mind, enjoy the ride, live out tonight and grab that Soul TrainTake it back, take it, back in the day, back in the day (oh baby)Back in the day, back in the day (won't you take me back?)Back in the day, back in the day (I'll do it) back in the day, back in the dayY'all remember back in the day, Ray Charles, King Cole, Miles DavisYeah, now "Chain Of Fools" and "Respect" was the anthem of a woman, Aretha said"What's Going On", "Let's Get It On" such classic songs, don't forget themThough times have changed, they still remains my inspiration everydaySo give it up for the ones who came before, opened up that doorWe're gonna set the mood, gonna go back to an old school grooveGonna rewind to another time, when the originators, innovators were alive, yeahSo break out the Marvin Gaye and Etta James, your Lady Day and ColtraneTurn up your 45's, bring back to life the sound and vibe of yesterdayOpen your mind, enjoy the ride, live out tonight and grab that Soul Train(by Rafa)
