about

I wrote this song a long time ago and still consider it to this day my favorite guitar progression. It's a very fun song to play with a band, once they figure out the chords. The song is about gaining wisdom through loss.

lyrics

Peace Of Mind.

I strained to hear the quiet man
as he swept away his plans and destinations.
He couldn't take it anymore.

Well, he told me, "Son, you understand, that a man can't have a tree shield planted gardens."
He couldn't take it no more.

(chorus)
He said, "Life ain't what you had.
It's only what you've got
and what you believed in.
Life ain't what you had.
It's only what you've got
and what you believed in and peace of mind.
Peace of mind.

He said he'd thought of letting go
because row by row his harvest it was dying.
He couldn't take it no more.
He lost the crop, the man grew thin,
the rain came back and made him smile again.

(chorus)
