The River and the Road - I TRIED lyrics

rate me

Lovers, don’t ya see me

I’ve got no one to set me free

I’m running on empty

I’m running on home

Down at the station

They said they’re gonna leave me alone

I let love pass me by

As for the chains

I tried

I said I didn’t want to leave you

And how I wish that I couldn’t care

I wish I was a brick house of a man

I wish I had a brick house stare

Lovers don’t ya see me

Don’t you see your more than I can bare

Your gonna know what I’m singin‘

Next time you sit in my chair

I let love pass me by

As for the chains

I tried

Until the day I see her

And fall from the sky

I’d rather sit here with envy

Than love with a lie

I knew they day was coming

When I’d regret what I had done

But I’m a better man now

Better than I ever was

I let love pass me by

As for the chains

I tried
