Trying

(album: Buy Dirt - 2021)

There'll be another 7am, I'm sorry
Wishing I could take back what I said
As sure as right now, I've got a heartbeat
I know I'll let you down again
I want to be the man you need

I ain't made it up the mountain but I'm climbing
I still got some miles to go but hell I'm driving
Ain't conquered all my demons but I'm fighting
I might never love you right but I'll die trying

And I'd love to say, I won't get jealous
And that the past is back in my rearview
But I know me too well to try to lie to you or myself
So, if you want to know the truth

I ain't made it up the mountain but I'm climbing
I still got some miles to go but hell I'm driving
Ain't conquered all my demons but I'm fighting
I might never love you right but I'll die trying

I'll be trying to deserve your heart of gold
Till I get there or the good Lord calls me home

I ain't made it up the mountain but I'm climbing
Still got some miles to go but hell I'm driving
Ain't conquered all my demons but I'm fighting
I might never love you right but I'll die trying
