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 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 Send " Charley Patton Songs" Ringtone to your Cell
