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'
