Tryin' Times Songtext
von Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Intro
If my feet don′t fail and my heart gets well,
I'll be outta here by noon.
Packing my load on the road,
You can color me gone.
Settling in for a long hard ride,
I miss you sittin′ on the shotgun side.
A difficult journey when your navigator is gone.
These are trying times when the ill winds blow,
Tryin' times when the rivers don't flow,
Tryin′ times when your heartbreak starts to show,
Tryin′ times when you pack it all up,
Tryin' times when the goin′ gets tough,
Tryin' times when you lose somebody you love,
Ya lose somebody you love.
The sun′s coming up on the Interstate now.
In the eastbound lane, I'm facing the crowd. Wishing I could jump up outta this traffic and fly.
I gotta a pain in my heart and a flat on my back,
Like a blind horse walking on a railroad track.
I didn′t know enough till the train came whistlin' by.
These are trying times when the ill winds blow,
Tryin' times when the rivers don′t flow,
Tryin′ times when your heartbreak starts to show,
Tryin' times when you pack it all up,
Tryin′ times when the goin' gets tough,
Tryin′ times when you lose somebody you love,
Ya lose somebody you love.
Tryin' times.
Tryin′ times.
Tryin' times.
Tryin' times.
(Ya lose somebody you love.)
