Looking For The Sunshine

Mickey Newbury



All of my life it's been the same.

I found a pot of gold, just a rusty chain.

I dealt a winnin' hand in a losin' game,

oh, I'm lookin' for the sunshine, livin' on the rain.



Hello, semi, are you goin' my way, maybe Tucson or sunny L. A.?

Well, I've had some hard times.

What can I say? I can't do no cryin' on the shoulder of this road.



Chorus:

All of my life (all of my life) it's been the same

(been the same) I found a pot of gold

(pot of gold) just a rusty chain (rusty chain)

I dealt a winnin' hand (winnin' hand) in a losin' game,

oh, I'm lookin' for the sunshine, livin' on the rain.



Yes, I clearly can remember. She was young, so very tender.

Lyin' by me, close beside me,

she was turnin' every inch of me into a burnin' flame.



(Chorus)



Oh, I'm lookin' for the sunshine, livin' on the rain.
