lyrics

Eldridge was a bad man
At least that's what the people said
But Eldridge he was only working out
All the things they put inside his head

He was like an angry lion
Trapped in a vice
They couldn't keep him down
And so they put his soul on ice

Well they locked him in a prison cell
Till he managed to get away
But living on the run ain't no fun
Both eyes opened every night and day

Just a little peace and quiet
Was his one desire
But it never came
Till something set his soul on fire

Now the man in the moon
Gave him the words
In a place that was clear
And a voice that was heard
Go back to your people but lean on me
They can lock you up again but I have set you free

Eldridge says he's different now
But a lot of people don't agree
They say he's only trying to free himself
I guess in time we all shall see

But I do believe his message
He ain't no liar
When he says that Jesus
Can set your soul on fire

Soul, soul on fire
Soul, he'll set your soul on fire

C'mon take me to the river
Help me get across
I need your help
I feel so lost
Can't you please
Eldridge, c'mon
Help me, help me
Soul on fire
Set my soul on fire

I said So-oh-wo-oh
Soul on fire
Ah yeah
