Soulfight Lyrics

Well isn't anybody home in here
it's getting cold and I just don't care,
so I'll gonna find something else to do, uh-huh.
Just take a really good look at me
I'm twenty-two and I still don't see, why
all of you people just can't get along, anymore.
'Cause fallin' down ain't so hard to do,
your only crutch be the bottle of brew
so I'm gonna find something else to do


'Cause if I ever was say to you
all of the things that you wanted me to, Luv
I'd have to find something else to do, uh-huh.

So I'm gonna stand here by your fire,
'cause it's a cold one tonight.
I'm taking care of soulfight,
and you're the reason why
Well I don't ask question and I don't tell no lies,
it's the reason why.
I'm taking care of soulfight,
and you're the reason why.

Oh my God I almost died last night.
Wrecked my car then I totalled my life.
So I'm gonna find something else to do, ah-huh.
'Cause if I ever was say to you
all of the things that you wanted me to, Luv
I'd have to find something else to do, ah-huh.

So I'm gonna stand here by your fire,
'cause it's a cold one tonight.
I'm taking care of soulfight, Babe
and you're the reason why
Well I don't ask question and I don't tell no lies,
it's the reason why.
I'm taking care of soulfight,
and you're the reason why,
well you're the reason why,
oh you're the reason why,
oh you're the reason why.

So Mother Mary won't you come sing a song for me
and make it last all damn night.
'Cause you know I can't hang on to see
when this noose pulls me so tight.
Well I would scratch and bleed from my fingernails
till every bit of me was gone
'cause I didn't want her,
and I didn't need her,
so now I leave it alone.

Whooah, so I'm gonna stand here by your fire,
'cause it's a cold one tonight.
I'm taking care of soulfight,
and you're the reason why.
Well I don't ask question and I don't tell no lies,
and that's the reason why.
I'm taking care of soulfight,
and you're the reason why.
Well you're the reason why.
Well you're the reason why.
Well you're the reason why.
Ah-huh

So I'm gonna stand here by your fire,
'cause it's a cold one tonight.
I'm taking care of soulfight,
and you're the reason why.

The Revivalists is an American rock band formed in New Orleans, Louisiana, in 2007. The 7-piece band consists of Ed Williams (pedal steel guitar, guitar), David Shaw (lead vocals), Zack Feinberg (guitar), Rob Ingraham (saxophone), George Gekas (bass guitar), Andrew Campanelli (drums, percussion), and Michael Girardot (keyboards, trumpet). The group's sound has been described as "a Crescent City-rhythm spin on jam-band jubilee."

Since forming in 2007, the band's combination of danceable rock and soulful songwriting (and brilliantivity) has come to life through a meticulously-crafted and ever-evolving live performance. The band has been instrumental in the growth of New Orleans’ burgeoning indie rock scene, and they have achieved success and notoriety in the city’s competitive musical landscape.

The Revivalists have proven themselves as a live act. They have managed to advance from low-profile local gigs to extensive touring, developing a loyal fan base at home and across the Gulf Coast Region and gaining footholds nationally. Abroad, they have commanded such venues as The Kennedy Center (Washington, DC), Sullivan Hall (New York City), Toad’s Place (New Haven, CT), and Smith’s Olde Bar (Atlanta, GA). At home, The Revivalists are regulars at The Howlin’ Wolf, The Republic, and the legendary Tipitina’s. They have shared stages with such notable acts as Perpetual Groove, Marco Benevento, Rebirth Brass Band, Ivan Neville’s Dumpstaphunk, The Lee Boys and Snarky Puppy. Additionally, they have established themselves as an engaging festival act, winning over audiences at French Quarter Fest, Crawfest and Foburg Festival in New Orleans, Hamstock Barbecue and Music Festival in Ridgeland, MS, and The Duke Ellington Jazz Festival in Washington, DC. Most recently, The Revivalists played the 2010 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. There, they caught the attention of Rolling Stone senior editor David Fricke, who wrote about their performance on his blog on rollingstone.com.

The Revivalists have also grown as studio musicians. Their first release was listed as an editor’s pick in both the Jam and American Traditional Rock categories on CDBaby.com, despite being a humble five-song EP. Their second release, Vital Signs, is both the band’s first full-length album and a significant step forward in terms of production and scale. The young band was privileged to record under the guidance of Grammy Award-winning producer Chris Finney, whose resumé ranges from Dr. John to R.E.M. Vital Signs is the result of this collaboration. Soon after its release, Vital Signs became the top-selling album on CDBaby in the American Traditional Rock category, and was quickly selected to be featured in their newsletter.
