Lyrics
You keep on looking,
you look to your right You look to the left, there's always a fight I tried to look up,
but the sky wasn't clear To hell with it all, I'm going and drink me some beer
Don't you know ,got these old searching blues Don't know which way to turn, just to find my way back to you
I walked down the street, to find an old friend Made a wrong turn,had to come back again I went to find my lady, in front of her door She said "Who are you?" cause you don't live here no more
Don't you know,got these old searching blues Don't know which way to turn,just to find my way back to you
TRADUCTION :
Tu cherches, à droite, à gauche, tout n'est que lutte J'ai levé la tête, même le ciel était sombre Au diable tout ça, je vais me boire une bière
Tu sais, je cherche et j'ai le Blues Je ne sais pas par où aller, retrouver le chemin qui mène à toi
Je marche dans les rues pour retrouver un ami, Je me suis trompé, je retourne sur mes pas J'ai retrouvé ma copine sur le pas de sa porte Qui me dit "t'es qui ? car tu n'es pas d'ici
