lyrics

Well I tried to write about the needles on the trees
But the city wouldn't let me, yeah the city don't let me
Then I tried to figure all that you mean to me
But my worry wouldn't let me, yeah my worry don't let me

Then I tried to sing about the birds and the bees
But my body wouldn't let me, yeah my body don't let me
Then I tried to write about how I felt about looking out at the sea
But the words didn't find me, sometimes the words don't find me

I'm trying to do better
I'm trying to do better, by you... by all of you
I'm trying to do better, I swear to God, I'm really trying to do better
By you, by all of you...

I tried to send out some letters
But I lost all the postage, I guess I misplaced the postage
Then I tried to telephone home today
But I misplaced by phone again, I guess I lost my phone again
Then I promised that I'd be productive today
But I stayed up late again, doing nothing
Then I swore that I'd finish this song today
But the words up and left me, I guess the words just left me

I'm trying to feel better
I'm trying to feel better, for you... for all of you
Things are gonna get better, yeah things just gotta get better
For you... for all of you

Ginger Bones recommends:

Roll the Bones
by Shakey Graves

Shakey Graves is a wandering example of living through the lenses of adventure. I've seen him live twice, and each time he brings raw talent and a rustic atmosphere to the stage. Ginger Bones
