O.V. Wright
I’ve Been Searching
[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
For once in my life
I'd like to see
Just a little truth, y'all
Just a little bit of honesty

[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
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)
