| I spend a lifetime
|
| Trying to decipher
|
| Charley Patton Songs.
|
| I don’t know why I bother,
|
| Even if I think it’s right,
|
| It always comes out wroung.
|
| But I’m old enough,
|
| Old enough to know why
|
| You’re still young enough,
|
| Young enough to still try, still try.
|
| I keep on pushing,
|
| For some way through it,
|
| Til I’m knackered out
|
| I know how you’re feeling,
|
| Even though I’ve never been
|
| That far south
|
| But I’m old enough,
|
| Old enough to know why
|
| You’re still young enough,
|
| Young enough to still try, still try.
|
| And I been lookin in New York,
|
| I been lookin in Chicago,
|
| I been lookin in New Orleans
|
| I can’t find you
|
| I been lookin in Detroit,
|
| I been lookin in Los Angeles,
|
| I been lookin in Louisville
|
| I cannot find you
|
| Well I’m old enough,
|
| Old enough to know why
|
| You’re still young enough,
|
| Young enough to still try, you still try.
|
| I been lookin in New York,
|
| I been lookin in Chicago,
|
| I been lookin in New Orleans
|
| I can’t find you
|
| I been lookin in Detroit,
|
| I been lookin in Los Angeles,
|
| I been lookin in Louisville
|
| I cannot find you
|
| I been lookin in the Lonely States,
|
| I been lookin in Philadelphia,
|
| I been lookin in Memphis,
|
| I cannot find you,
|
| I cannot find you |
