Written by:Benjamin Joseph Ottewell/Ian Thomas Ball/Paul Blackburn/Oliver James Peacock/Thomas William Gray
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 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
Yeah you're 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
