Tried So Hard Lyrics

Listen everybody

Gonna tell you all a story

'Bout a man got nothin to say

He's a real golden oldie

Call him Mr. Faded Glory

'Cause he don't get the kids these days

Will you look my way

All I wanted was to stay

Will you sit by me

Before you set me free

I never had a reason to

Think I would be cheated by the

Things that I wanted to do

But just as luck would have it

The tortoise beat the rabbit

'Cause he never really had a clue

Will you sit by me

Before you set me free

Why can't it be

All I wanted it to be

I tried so hard to live without her

I tried so hard to be myself

You know I tried

Listen everybody

Gonna tell you all a story

'Bout a man got nothin to say

He's a real golden oldie

Call him Mr. Faded Glory

'Cause he don't get the kids these days

There's a slow train comin'

You can hear that motor running

When you've got such a heavy load

It's time to get up off these tracks

'Cause there ain't no coming back when you

Get to the end of the road

Will you sit by me

Oh before you set me free

Why can't it be

All I wanted it to be

I tried so hard to live without her

I tried so hard to be myself

I used to get so nervous that I'd start to stutter

I couldn't believe that she was mine

When she was mine

All I wanted was to stay

Oh you know I really tried so hard

But the words get in the way
