Lookin' For by Sugapablo

Well she called me, on the telephone
Her news done hit me without warnin'
Well our friend, never woke up this mornin'
He done went to bed, and he's gonna sleep forever more
And I hope that he found
What it is he was lookin' for

Well I think about, his little girl
'Bout the same age she is as mine
Someone's gonna have to tell that girl tonight
That her daddy, ain't never again gonna walk through her door
And she won't give a damn
What it is he was lookin' for

Way back when, he and I
Way back when, he and I would sing our songs together
We would dream, that our stars would shine forever
Well I'm guessin', I can't dream that dream anymore
But at least I can understand
What it is he was lookin' for

He would tell me, about the crossroads
And how he looked the devil square in the eye
Said, "I don't need you. I got the Lord by my side."
And in the end, he lost everything, for sure
Everything but love,
And that's all he was lookin' for.
