Try

I just try to do my work and earn my keep I vote and try to do my part I try to get a good night's sleep And try every day to make a fresh start I try to make good choices all day long Try to do things with all my heart I try to live my life like a gospel song Try not to let everything come apart Try, try, try, every day and every night Try very hard not to get into a fight Try to keep my mind where my mind ought to be Try to keep my eyes on what I ought to see Try to love my neighbor and my enemy too Try to do every day what I'm supposed to do I try not to think about what makes me blue Try to avoid dwelling on what makes me sad Try to keep a handle on stinkin' thinkin' too Try to watch my mouth when I get mad There's just so much out there to drive you nuts Listening to everyone's ifs, and and buts Running with the horses is my heart's desire But I feel more like a bird on a wire Try, try, try, every day and every night Try very hard not to get into a fight Try to keep my mind where my mind ought to be Try to keep my eyes on what I ought to see Try to love my neighbor and my enemy too Try to do every day what I'm supposed to do
