[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)
