Jackson Browne

Lyrics to Still Looking For Something

[Chorus]

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, baby

Nothing you can hold up to the light

If all I find is freedom, it's alright



[Verse 1]

And I knew since I was just little

The sharp edges of the world will whittle

Your dreams down to shavings at your feet

Gonna do my best not to settle

I know it's gonna test my mettle

To keep my options open

Even so I'm hoping



[Chorus]

And 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 somеwhere, baby

We all want to go whеre life is bright

You don't want to end up nowhere, but you might

[Verse 2]

And I knew since I was just little

The sharp edges of the world will whittle

Your 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 the soulful smile behind it



[Chorus]

And I'm still looking for something

I'm out here under the neon, baby

Still looking for something in the night

I don't mind giving up something

You don't get something for nothing, baby

You don't give up on love without a fight

If I don't find it this time it's alright



[Outro]

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
