LOOKING FOR YOU         Sept, 10th, 2009
V1
I stood outside the airline booth with all the money I owned
Debating with myself should I run away from home
to some unknown land
I was not even a man

V2
I sat on the cold pavement and stared at the cracked concrete
The broken glass and sand that made these blisters on my feet
Sparkled through the tears in my eyes
I thought of you as I cried

CHORUS 1
You see I was looking for you
So long have I been playing these blues
Lost and not knowing what else to do
Ive been looking for you

V3
Did you ever have to carry everything you own and live out on the street?
It was a hard winter and the hospital garage elevator
was the only place I could find to sleep…
Cops and criminals meant the same thing me

V4
I traveled the Balkans while all around me war raged
They locked me in a cage on the border one day
And threatened my life… (but I wasn’t afraid)
Cause I didn’t care if I lived or died

CHORUS 2
Cause I was just looking for you
Nothing else matters to me and that’s the truth
A slave to the way of love only you know how to do
Ive been looking for you

V5
I walked from north to southern Greece it took all day and all night
The mountains approached and as I left them behind
Mt. Olympos blocked the starlight
For it was your star I was hoping to find

V6
There were gypsies on that road, ever been robbed by them before?
They wooed me with their smiles, I had nothing--I laughed even more
Cause their eyes I saw right through
That in their hearts they all knew…what I was there to do

CHORUS 3
That I was looking for you
Wandering the earth in search for that home that I once knew
Weary from the aching in my heart that always grew
I was only looking for you

SOLO

V7
I may have more wealth now but without you nothing could ever be enough
Got me a bike and I ride farther and farther into the rough
I’m covered in the dust…
…Of this old…wanderlust

V8
I rode through many California towns with a bottle of Jack in my lap
Drinking it straight with one foot in the grave and trying not to look back
I don’t lie that I’m surprised I am not dead…
But even the bottle could not keep you out of my head

CHORUS 4
Cause I was looking for you
On every road and every town I drove through
The miles stacked in piles of all the trials that I’ve been through
And I am still looking for you

V9
They say there is no gain without pain but all the same it’s a shame
that despite all this time trying to find you it’s still plain
You are further away
But Im still playing this game  Bm – F#11-F#

BRIDGE (12/28/09)
There’s nothing out here Babe                           Bm
There’s no refuge for the meek                          A#/Bm
They take what they can                                 A/Bm
They kill for the meat                                  G#/Bm
Someplace safe and warm where your flowers grow 	Em – F#
I long to rest my soul                                  Bm – F#m
I long to rest my soul                                  Bm – F#m

...Looking for you…Looking for you…still looking for you
Looking for you...Ive been Looking for you…This world has nothing to
offer that Id rather do… than to be with you
If I find you…If you’ll have me…if you’ll take me…you will save me…Oh!
