Charley Patton Song

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

Force some way through it

Till 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 looking in New York

I been looking in Chicago

I been looking in New Orleans

I can't find you



I been looking in Detroit

I been looking in Los Angeles

I been looking 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 looking in New York

I been looking in Chicago

I been looking in New Orleans

I can't find you



I been looking in Detroit

I been looking in Los Angeles

I been looking in Louisville

I cannot find you



I been looking in the Lonely States

I been looking in Philadelphia

I been looking in Memphis

I cannot find you,

I cannot find you
