Jack Ingram - Sight Unseen lyrics

rate me

Old man comes out of the rain

His heart's as heavy as night

There was a time he was soldier boy

He forgot the times before the war

There was a girl he could have called his wife

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

Searching for a sight unseen

For what his father has not been

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
