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
