I'm hanging on to
my peace of mind
I just don't know
I'm hanging on to
those good times baby
Just want to 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 I just don't know
no no no no
I love her so
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 if the same thing happened
to everybody
that just happened to me oh
I just don't know no no no no
I'll never let her go
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
singing like a nightingale
Coming my way down along
that devastation
trail well tell the Lord above
she's got a brand of love
that cannot fail
I'm hanging on to
my peace of mind
that's no lie
I'm hanging on to
my special friend
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 I just don't know
no no no no
No I get so low
and my mind's about to go
but wait a minute
here comes my baby
singing like a nightingale
coming my way down along
that devastation
trail
Well let the fires burn let the
floods return
we will prevail
Hanging on to my peace of mind
I just don't know
