can't find you

I been breathing in and out
I been pacing back and forth
I could dance the twist and shout
go east, west, south and north
but I can't find you
no, I can't find you

I been walking every dirt road
I been driving highways, too
I done everything I knowed
about the lonely avenue
but I can't find you
no, I can't find you

          where are you hiding
          I can't tell
          I thought I knew you
          all too well
          but I've looked everywhere
          that I can see
          I think you're running
          away from me

I been drinking lots of whiskey
I been taking lots of pills
I'm gonna kill the pain inside me
but I'm searching for you still
but I can't find you
no, I can't find you

come back to me darling
come be by my side
come be my special something
that cannot be denied
but I can't find you
no, I can't find you
I can't find you
no, I can't find you
