I'm Tryin'

Trace Adkins

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'
