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

I′ve been searchin'
I′ve been searchin'
I've been searchin′
I can′t find what I'm lookin′ for

Lord, it's 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
And a little bit of honesty
But I can′t find it
Lord, I can′t find it

I've been searchin′
I've been searchin′
I've been searchin′
I can't find what I'm lookin′ 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
But I can't find it
I can′t find it, Lord

I've been searchin′
I've been searchin'
I′ve been searchin′
I can't find what I′m lookin' for

Oh, what happened to bein′ fair?
Lord, I've been searchin′ everywhere
I've been searchin'
I can′t find it
I′ve been searchin'
Lord, I can′t find it
I've been searchin′
I still couldn't find it
I′ve been searchin'
You know the world's been a mess
But I′ve been searchin′
