COWPIE Country Music Lyrics

Jack Ingram

Sight Uneen

Written By: Jack Ingram


E                      F#m 
Old man comes out of the  rain
A                   B7 
His heart's as heavy as  night
E                   F#m 
There was a time he was soldier  boy
A  B7 
He forgot the times before the  war
E                        F#m 
There was a girl he could have  called his wife
A                 B7              E 
But he let her slip right through  his hands

He plays guitar on the corner some
Not enough to be a  star
But it's enough just to have some fun
And make some people happy  awhile

A                    B7 
Searching for a sight  unseen
E                        F#m 
For what his father has not  been
A                     B7                  E 
He's searching for a feeling he  calls home

Went to church to pray for a sign
Throw me a rope, Lord,  throw me a line
So I can hang on or I can climb
I don't really  care

I just want to find my own way
Sing the songs that my guitar  plays
Make a child smile, make a daddy cry
Make my mama sing a  lullaby

I'm searching for a sight unseen
For what my father has not  been
I'm searching for a feeling I call  home
