There came one morning when I'd had enough
Of all the downtown racket and the huff and puff,
I felt the whole wide world getting in my face,
I mean the crash and the clatter come from every place -
So I donned my work shirt and my corduroys
And then I went out looking to escape the noise,
You know I searched the city for some silent ground,
But the devil's anvil, that was all I found -
Just looking for a port of call where I could hear a teardrop fall -
I'll find my spirit and we'll reunite,
I'm just looking for the quiet life
So I left the city for the country realm,
I thought the wayward silence would just overwhelm,
But the birds were screeching and the wind was loud,
And the coyotes howled like an angry mob
So I climbed up a mountain where the air was rare,
And near the snow peak I found a guy just sitting there,
He said, I know what you're seeking and you're far from home,
But it's home where you'll find it, brother, on your own
What's he saying, what's that mean? Is this just a foolish dream?
I'll keep on searching til I get it right,
I'm still looking for the quiet life
