Riverbend Drive Lyrics

Okay

One, two, three

I tried to see you on the day you died

It'd been so long, but I got stuck outside

Thought of all the nice things to say

Couldn't say them when the time came

Yeah, I tried

Yeah, I tried

Yeah, I tried

Tried so fucking hard

But all the words just came out wrong

I tried to see you on the day before

I knocked and knocked at the front door

I walked miles to the local bar

Told the barkeep I had not walked far

Yeah, I tried

Yeah, I tried

Yeah, I tried

Tried so fucking hard

To be the one you waited for

Tried to see you at the funeral

Flowers in my hand were blooming full

Missed the service cause I woke up late

I walked in and they had locked the gate

Yeah, I tried

Yeah, I tried

Yeah, I tried

Tried so fucking hard

To see you one last goddamn time

Tried to see you when I went to heaven

The gate was open wide, I came in running

Saw you standing there, your eyes went wide

I swear I saw a glint in your eye

Saw a glint in your eye

Saw a glint in your eye

Yeah, I tried

Yeah, I tried

Yeah, I tried

Tried so fucking hard

And all the words just came out right

Yeah, I tried

Yeah, I tried

Yeah, I tried

Tried so fucking hard

And I was all of a sudden the man you meant for me to be
