Still Looking for Something Songtext
von Jackson Browne

I′m still looking for something
I'm out here under the streetlight
Baby, I′m still looking for something in the night
I might be giving up something
You don't get something for nothing, dear
Nothing you can hold up to the light
If all I find is freedom, it's alright

And I knew since I was just little
The sharp edges of the world will whittle
Your dreams down to shavings at your feet
I′m gonna do my best not to settle
I know it′s gonna test my mettle
Keep my options open
Even if so I'm hoping


I′m still looking for something
I'm way out over my due date
Baby, I′m still looking for something in the night
I know I'm headed for somewhere
We all dream about somewhere, dear
We all wanna go where life is bright
You don′t wanna end up nowhere, but you might

And I knew since I was just little
The sharp edges of the world will whittle
Expectations into something else
And I know beyond the tough titty
Somewhere there's a heart in the city
And I'm out here to find it
And a soulful smile behind it

I′m still looking for something
I′m out here under the neon
Baby, I'm still looking for something in the night
I don′t mind giving up something
You don't get something for nothing, dear
You don′t give up on love without a fight
If I don't find it this time, it′s alright


Gonna keep my options open
Even though I'm hoping
For something I can hold up to the light
Don't know that I′ll find it
Or the soulful smile behind it
If all I find is freedom, it′s alright
