Lyrics
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 wrong
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've been lookin in New York
I've been lookin in Chicago
I've been lookin in New Orleans
I can't find you
I've been lookin in Detroit
I've been lookin in Los Angeles
I've 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've been lookin in New York
I've been lookin in Chicago
I've been lookin in New Orleans
I can't find you
I've been lookin in Detroit
I've been lookin in Los Angeles
I've been lookin in Louisville
I cannot find you
I've been lookin in the lonely States
I've been lookin in Philadelphia
I've been lookin in Memphis
I cannot find you
I cannot find you
