Nightingale

I'm hangin' on to my peace of mind

I just don't know

I'm hangin' on to those good times, baby

Just wanna let them roll

I'm gonna make it to the light and joy

I'll tell you why

I got a woman who can take me there

The apple of my eye

Oh, whoa

I just don't know

No, no, no, no

No, whoa

I love her so

Don't let me see that mornin' paper

'Cause I don't need those dues

It's just the same old murder movie

But they call it "The News"

I'll tell you what would be some story

And what would set me free

'Cause if the same thing happened to everybody

That just happened to me

Oh, whoa

I just don't know

No, no, no, no

No, whoa

I'll never let her go

(No, no, no)

Every time I hear somebody

Sneakin' up behind

Whoa, I turn around

But I still hear that sound

And just when I'm about to lose my mind

Here comes my baby

Singin' like the nightingale

Comin' my way down along that devastation trail

Oh, tell the Lord above she's got a brand of love

That cannot fail

I'm hangin' on to my peace of mind

That's no lie

I'm hangin' on to my special friend

The apple of my eye

The apple of my eye

My inspiration too

She's got a lead on my heart and my soul

And she knows just what to do

Oh no, whoa

I just don't know

No, no, no, no

No, whoa

I get so low and my mind's about to go

But wait a minute

Here comes my baby

Singin' like the nightingale

Comin' my way down along that devastation trail

Oh, let the fires burn and let the floods return

We will prevail

Hangin' on to my peace of mind

I just don't know
