I’ve Been Searching Songtext
von O.V. Wright

I′ve been searching
I've been searching
I′ve been searching
I can't find what I'm looking for
Lord, its a doggone shame
Everybody′s got a game
Lord, it′s mighty tough
When you don't know who to trust

For once in my life
I′d like to see
Just a little truth, y'all
Just a little bit of honesty


I can′t find it
Lord, I can't find it
Lord, oh, all my doggone life
(I′ve been searching)
I've been searching
(I've been searching)
I′ve been searching
I can′t find what I'm looking for

Lord, what I wouldn′t give
To find somebody real
I don't mean folks shaking your hand
Pulling you in when they get a chance
I mean somebody
Who′s not afraid
To say what they mean
And mean what they say
I can't find it

I can′t find
Lord, oh, all my doggone life
(I've been searching)
I've been searching
(I′ve been searching)
I′ve been searching
I can't find what I′m looking for


Ooh, oh, ooh
Oh, what happened to be exact
Lord know I've been searching everywhere
(I′ve been searching)
I can't find, no
(I′ve been searching)
Lord, I can't find it, no
(I've been searching)
I′ve been to the east
(I′ve been searching)
I still couldn't find it
You know the west is gonna miss
(But I′ve been searching)
