Lyrics
I’ll Try To Let You Know
V1.
I found your name in Memphis; I missed you by one day
But your name was on the chalkboard, to show you passed that way
A small cafe, I guess no pay but a drink and bite to eat
That’s alright, ‘cos you are light and easy on your feet
Chorus:
Your up, you’ve gone, you’re travelling on
I will try to track you; each day a different song
Each day’s a morning glory, on this worldwide picture show
And every time I find you, I’ll try to let you know
V2.
I got your shot from Madison; your smile seemed good and true
The filling station background, seemed a real good place for you
You must have found a homeward bound, ‘cos later on that day
You played a bar in Little Rock, for forty dollars pay
Chorus:
Your up, you’ve gone, you’re travelling on
I will try to track you; each day a different song
Each day’s a morning glory, on this worldwide picture show
And every time I find you, I’ll try to let you know
Bridge:
Son, I think I understand, why you need to get away
To find yourself out on the road, with a hundred shows to play
A hundred shows in a hundred days, it seems a lot to me
When you started out with a hundred bucks and a simple certainty
Chorus:
Your up, you’ve gone, you’re travelling on
I will try to track you; each day a different song
Each day’s a morning glory, on this worldwide picture show
And every time I find you, I’ll try to let you know
Yes, every time I find you, I’ll try to let you know
