Searching for Paradise

Started drifting westward Since I was old enough to stray A stint out in the desert The one outside LA Dried out in the valley Where the sun shines every day Came out here searching for paradise yeah Might have got carried away now Came out here searching for paradise yeah Came out here searching for you babe Howlin like a coyote Drinking 190 proof I ate too much peyote And threw up on my boots Might've left my body But I think I found the truth Came out here searching for paradise yeah Might have got carried away now Came out here searching for paradise yeah Came out here searching for you babe Well I killed my last dead soldier Pitched my last bale of hay It's just cigarettes and coffee While I rehabilitate Living in the valley Where the ground sometimes can shake Came out here searching for paradise yeah Might have got carried away now Came out here searching for paradise yeah Came out here searching for you babe Came out here searching for paradise yeah Might've got carried away Came out here searching for paradise yeah Came out here searching for you babe Aw yeah
