Trace Adkins – I’m Tryin’ Lyrics
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’
