Tryin' to Find It

There's a road that goes to an old friend's house
Where we grew up, where we hung out
And I've been on this highway three hours now
And I'm trying to find it

And I remember an old pinball arcade
Where I lived out all my yesterdays
I'm sure it's torn down and gone away
But I'm trying to find it

And there's a feeling that I left behind
I felt it once running down my spine
The fear of God, the joy of life
And I'm trying to find it
I'm trying to find it

Now there's a spot on earth a man can go
To find himself and free his soul
A place somewhere between hell and heaven
Where no one hurts and all's forgiven
A door that leads to light and grace
But the keys are in the darkest place
Though it feels like I've been there before
I don't know what I'm looking for
But I'm trying to find it

Now there's an attic in my old man's house
Full of history I need to know about
Of a life I've lived too long without
And I'm trying to find it

And I know you're up there in your room
And I want so bad to heal the wound
But I hurt you in so many ways
And I don't know why you choose to stay
I know it's me that let it die
There's a fire that's gone with a look in your eyes
An innocence that you once had
A piece of you I miss so bad
But I'm trying to find it
I'm trying to find it

Well it's 3 a.m. and I'm on my knees
She cries as her eyes look down at me
As I search for the book she loves to hear her daddy read
And I'm trying to find it

There's a road that goes to an old friend's house
Where we grew up, where we hung out
And I've been on this highway for three hours now
