D GI was in a country band in the 1970s
D Bm7 AOne night we had a flat on the van, on the way out to Tennessee
D GAsked an old mechanic, name of Johnson, for some air
A G D GAnd everybody called him "Socrates"
[Verse 2]
D"Hey. What's goin' on?"
G"Not much of nothin'. How 'bout you?"
D Bm7 A GAnd that's the way it's done in our hometown
D GHe could talk a stream of nonsense, just as pretty as you please
A G DAnd everybody called him "Socrates"
[Verse 3]
G D GBut he said, "Fame and fortune are easily confused, as are luck and destiny
D Bm7 AAre you bein' loved, boys, or bein' used? Runnin' wild or bein' free?"
G D GHe said, "The answers to your questions are more questions such as these."
A G DAnd everybody called him "Socrates"

A G DWhen I finally quit old Socrates

F#m G Em7 A"Do you know what you are capable of knowing?
F#m G Em7Do your hands, son, ever touch the soil?
A F#m G Em7 AAnd Do you love all that you are capable of lovin'?
