J. Brian - Still Tryin' Lyrics

Bluejeans worn clean through to my knees and my collar is limp and frayed
The soles of my shoes are somewhere behind I think I lost them along the way
My story's full of pages torn with creased and wrinkled lines
The bottoms of my pockets have holes worn through like the holes in my tired mind
In my tired mind

Well a man told me in confidence that Heaven knows I'm here
He read it from a book from another time he mumbled and it didn't seem clear
He talked of a God and His only Son and of me who they yet hadn't found
He cued up the band and said get to your knees I guess he didn't see me on the ground
I was on the ground

And I'm still tryin' after all this time
Still tryin' to carry the miles
And I'm still tryin' after all this time
Still tryin' to marry the smiles
After all this time after all these miles

I've been low enough to crawl under a snake
And high as an eagle flies
I'll never give up I'll never say never
I love an open road staring me in the eye

Well I once had a choice of roads but I couldn't decide a way
So I tossed up a coin but it never came down and it still ain't been found today
So I'm rolling back down to the open seas with a dirty wind torn sail
To find that coin that I chose heads to see if it tells a tail
If it tells a tale
