I'm Tryin'

                                  This gettin' up early, pulling double shifts,

Gonna make an old man of me long before I ever get rich.  

But I'm tryin'

It's been two years since we've finalized, 

I still ain't used to puttin' ex in front of wife. 

But I'm tryin'.

Send more money right away, is pretty much all she has to say when she

Calls these days and don't you be late



But all I can do, is all I can do and I keep on tryin'

And all I can be is all I can be and I keep on tryin'

There's always a mountain in front of me, 

Seems I'm always climbin' and fallin' and climbin' 

But I keep on tryin'



I remember daddy sayin' keep your eye on the ball, run like hell, play to win, 

Get up when you fall    

I'm tryin'

Don't say nothin' that you can't take back   

Never do anything you might regret   

No don't do that  

Daddy I'm tryin'

Know the difference between heaven and hell 

Go easy on the bottle be hard on yourself 

And I know he meant well



But all I can do, is all I can do and I keep on tryin'

And all I can be is all I can be and I keep on tryin'

There's always a mountain in front of me, 

Seems I'm always climbin' and fallin' and climbin'  

But I keep on tryin'



There's always a mountain in front of me 

Seems I'm always climbin'  and stumblin'   

And then fallin'  

And then climbin'

But I keep on tryin'



This gettin' up early pullin' double shifts  

Gonna make an old man of me

Long before I ever get rich

But I'm tryin'
