Hangin' on to my peace of mind,
Hangin' on to those good times, baby,
I'm gonna make it to the light and joy
Found somebody who can take me there
Don't let me see that morning 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
Is it the same thing happen
That just happened to me?
Oh, well, I just don't know,
Every time I see somebody
waking up in your house, whoa,
I turn around, but I still hear that sound.
Just when I'm about to lose my mind,
singing like a nightingale
along that devastation trail
Well, tell the Lord above
I'm hanging on to my peace of mind
Hanging on to my special friend
He's got a lead on my heart and soul
And he knows just what to do
Oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh
Well, I get so low and my
Singin' like a nightingale
along that devastation trail
