Tryin'

(album: Thunder & Roses - 2001)

In a cloud of dust
On a greyhound bus
She crossed the cook county line.
Slept all the way to nashville
Big dreams running through her mind.
She said sure as I'm breathing
I'm gonna be a big star some day
She was jumping into the deep end
On a leap of sweet blind faith.

It's about hoping
It's about dreaming
It's about never not believing
It's about taking a walk out on the wire
And never looking down.
It's about living instead of dying
It's about spreading your wings and flying
Its all about trying
Oh yeah

It's been six years gone
Since she left home
And she hasn't made it big yet.
Oh but theres no second guessing
Baby, she's got no regrets.
She still works the late shift down
At the Greasy Spoon Cafe
And when she brings you out your milkshake
Honey, well you just might hear her say...

It's about hoping
It's about dreaming
It's about never not believing
It's about taking a walk out on the wire
And never looking down.
It's about living instead of dying
It's about spreading your wings and flying
Its all about trying
Oh yeah

It's about hoping It's about dreaming
It's about never not believing
It's about taking a walk out on the wire
And never looking down.
It's about living instead of dying
It's about spreading your wings and flying
Its all about trying
Oh yeah

It's not wheather you win or lose its
Getting in the game
Once you set your wings in motion
Well you'll never be the same

It's about hoping
It's about dreaming
It's about never not believing
It's about taking a walk out on the wire
And never looking down.
It's about living instead of dying
It's about spreading your wings and flying
Its all about trying
Oh yeah
