Searching For You
I’ve gone to war.
I’ve slept with whores.
I’ve traveled around.
I’ve been up & I’ve been down.
But, the best I ever feel
Is when I’m sitting behind the wheel.
Heading home to be with you.
You’re on my mind day and night.
I hate it when you’re out of sight.
I like the fact when you’re around.
You don’t mention my leaving town.
Lately, I’ve been thinking of settling down.
That thought is easy when you’re around.
You’ve turned my world upside down
I’ve never felt this way before.
Usually, it’s just a quick score.
Then, on my way looking for more.
Now, I linger at your door.
Wishing I could linger more.
Something has a hold on my heart.
This feeling is ripping me apart
I could settle down & change my ways.
No roaming around looking for lays.
Reject this life that moves me on.
The wandering urge would be gone.
To take it’s place there would be you.
I can’t think of what else I can do.
So, I am heading home to you.
Home to a life I can only dream of.
Where I will shower you with love.
I will raise you upon a pedestal high.
Treat you like an angel from the sky.
You are the apple of my eye.
You’re the one I’ve been searching for.
The search is over,—- forevermore.——-R. W. Johnson——-(2011)
