Tryin', tired but I'm tryin'

This hill I've been climbin'

Oh I can't see the top

Old man, can you help me understand

Why I'm on this planet?

How do you know when to stop?

Working for a dollar

Well that's how you make a man feel broke

Working for a dollar

That's the only thing I know.

"Just drive an old ford

Count blessings and praise the lord

Have less make it feel like more

Leave work at the front door

Work hard and you get paid

Don't give em your best days

Only so many left, save

Some of 'em up for the ones worth saving 'em for".

Patience, I've run out of patience

I need a vacation

I need out of this shift

Skydive, maybe see how fast I can drive

Too young to not feel alive

And I'm caught in a ditch

Passin' me a bottle

Oldman starts rollin' his own smoke

Says "you lost me at dollar

Here's the only thing I know.

Just drive an old ford

Count blessings and praise the lord

Have less make it feel like more

Leave work at the front door

Work hard and you get paid

Don'tgive em your best days

Only so many left, save

Some of 'em up for the ones worth saving 'em for.

Once you find your love, you hold her close and say her name

No amount of money's gonna make you feel the same

Can't you see?

Can't you see?

Just drive an old ford

Count blessings and praise the lord

Have less make it feel like more

Leave work at the front door

Work hard and you get paid

Don't give em your best days

Only so many left, save

Some of 'em up for the ones worth saving 'em for".
