Get home tired Four-thirty AM Coffee black Then back to community college Again Take my notes Take my test Try my hardest Do my best Clock in at the store Eight-thirty PM Stock the shelves Smile and say I'm doing well Aint I? I'm trying (trying) I'm trying Trying not to ruin it all Trying hard not to fall Mama needs another ride Bills keep stacking up sooo high Lord knows I'm trying Finished cooking lunch Eleven-thirty AM Mom says honey, leave me be You gotta live your life Mama, not this again I'm staying right here Stop doing the dishes I got 'em, please mommie dear Drove her to Doc Smith's Two-thirty PM Studying in the waiting room I'm hoping it aint bad news Again Drive back home Mountain side Back in my room I've got some time For some reason I just cried I'm trying (trying) I'm trying Trying not to ruin it all Trying sooo hard not to fall Maybe a nurse one day Yeah, that's my dream Even if it takes forever to reach Lord knows I'm trying Some folks race Some folks run Me? I just keep going And most nights When the road curves I let that old Saturn dance Just a little I guess some people noticed I'm trying (trying) I'm trying Trying to make enough Trying to stay sooo tough Night shift ends Morning comes Dreams don't stop just cuz life thinks your done Lord knows I'm trying Get home tired Four-thrity AM Time to try again
