just some lyrics
I remember Daddy saying keep your eye on the ball
Run like hell, play to win, get up when you fall
I'm trying
Don't say nothing that you can't take back
Never do anything you might regret
No don't do that
Daddy, I'm trying
Know the difference between heaven and hell
Go easy on the bottle
Be hard on yourself
I'm trying
But all I can do, is all I can do
And I keep on trying
And all I can be, is all I can be
And I keep on trying
There's always a mountain in front of me
Seems I'm always climbing, then falling, then climbing
But I keep on trying
It's getting up early pulling double shifts
Gonna make an old man of me long before I ever get rich
But I'm trying.
--from "Trying", by Trace Adkins, second stanza, chorus, and last stanza
Once in a while I am reminded of why some country is still good music.
"Because they're songs about me."
Run like hell, play to win, get up when you fall
I'm trying
Don't say nothing that you can't take back
Never do anything you might regret
No don't do that
Daddy, I'm trying
Know the difference between heaven and hell
Go easy on the bottle
Be hard on yourself
I'm trying
But all I can do, is all I can do
And I keep on trying
And all I can be, is all I can be
And I keep on trying
There's always a mountain in front of me
Seems I'm always climbing, then falling, then climbing
But I keep on trying
It's getting up early pulling double shifts
Gonna make an old man of me long before I ever get rich
But I'm trying.

Once in a while I am reminded of why some country is still good music.
