7. I Was Trying
(Words & Music By Michael Wendroff)
Come home last night, my woman was gone
Just like in some old blues song.
She packed some things and she went away
I don't think she'll be back again.
Wind and rain outside my door
Why'd she want to go and leave me for.
When I was tryin' the best I could
Tryin' to make things good.
I caused her pain I guess it's true
Yeah but there were times when she hurt me too
Keep it together you gotta be strong
And not run out when things go wrong
And she knew I was tryin' the best I could
Tryin' to make things good.
And I'd do anything to make it right
Yes I'd do anything to turn on that light
You know it's a dark road
And I can't go it alone.
I never thought it would end this way
And I would be the one to stay
But here I am it's a quarter to four
Nothin' seems to matter anymore
You know it's hard, yeah it's awful tough
I guess I just didn't love her enough
Oh but I was tryin' the best I could
Tryin' to make things good.
