Peace of Mind



I waded through water, I waded through mud
I’ve been searching for my one true love
 
Won't someone come and save my soul
Take me off this old lonesome road
 
Yeah I’m searching lord, I’m searching to find
A little bit of peace of mind
Yes I’m searching I’m searching to find
A little bit of peace of mind
 
 
Won't somebody come and save my soul
Won't somebody come and make me whole
 
All my life long, all my life long, all my life I’ve been wasting time
 
Yeah I’m searching lord, I’m searching to find
A little bit of peace of mind
Yes I’m searching I’m searching to find
A little bit of peace of mind
 
Any day now I’ll go insane
If I don’t find a way to numb the pain
That’s been clouding my mind every day
With flashbacks and memories that wont go away
 
Yeah I’m searching lord, I’m searching to find
A little bit of peace of mind
Yes I’m searching I’m searching to find
A little bit of peace of mind
