This gettin' up early pulling double shifts
Gonna make an old man of me long before I ever get rich
But I'm trying
It's been two years since we finalized
Still ain't used to putting "X" in front of wife
But I'm trying
Send more money right away
Is pretty much all she has to say when she calls these days
And don't you be late
Chorus
But all I can do, is all I can do
And I keep on tryin'___
And all I can be, is all I can be
And I keep on tryin'___
But there's always a mountin in front of me
Seems I'm always climbing, and falling, and climbing
But I keep on trying...
Verse 2
Well I remember daddy sayin "Keep your eye on the ball"
Run like hell, play to win, get up when you fall"
I'm tryin'
Don't say nothing that you can't take back
Never do anything you might regret, no don't do that
Daddy, I'm tryin'
Know the difference 'tween Heaven and Hell
Go easy on the bottle, be hard on yourself
And I know he meant well
Chorus
But all I can do, is all I can do
And I keep on tryin'___
And all I can be, is all I can be
And I keep on tryin'___
But there's always a mountin in front of me
Seems I'm always climbing, and falling, and climbing

But all I can do, is all I can do
And I keep on tryin'
And all I can be, well that's all I can be
And I keep on tryin'
All I can do, is all I can do
But I keep on tryin'
There's always a mountain in front of me
Seems I'm always climbing, then stumbling, and then falling, and then climbing
But I keep on tryin'
