Charley Patton Songs Lyrics

The song Charley Patton Songs is performed by Gomez in the album named How We Operate in the year 2006 .

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
