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 wrongBut I'm old enough
Old enough to know why
You're still young enough
Young enough to still try, still tryI keep on pushing for some through it
'Til I'm knackered out
I know how you're feeling, even though I've never been
That far southBut I'm old enough
Old enough to know why
You're still young enough
Young enough to still try, still tryAnd I been lookin' in New York
I been lookin' in Chicago
I been lookin' in New Orleans
I can't find youI been lookin' in Detroit
I been lookin' in Los Angeles
I been lookin' in Louisville
I cannot find youWell, I'm old enough
Old enough to know why
Yeah, you're young enough
Young enough to still try, you still tryI been lookin' in New York
I been lookin' in Chicago
I been lookin' in New Orleans
I can't find youI been lookin' in Detroit
I been lookin' in Los Angeles
I been lookin' in Louisville
I cannot find youI been lookin' in the Lonely States
I been lookin' in Philadelphia
I been lookin' in Memphis
I cannot find you, I cannot find you
