Lyrics
MSB
I Still Try
words and music by: Mary Shawn Bayer
(C) 2001 (P) 2004 MSB/ASCAP
I'm selling out I'm shifting gears
I'm makin' up for all these years gone by
I still try
I'll blaze a trail so tried and true
They'll ask me what's come over you now child
I'll say at least I try
Don't try to take me somewhere I don't want to be
I spend to much time pleasin' and no time pleasin' me
It's been an Eternity
I'll stake my claims and when I'm through
I think I'll go to Machu Picchu to unwind
Before it declines
I'll sail away right through my fears
I'm sure they've drown in all my tears by now
So anyhow
Don't ever take me somewhere I dont want to be
I spend to much time pleasin'
I want something to please me, Yeah
(Lead Break)
You can't run away from what's inside
And you still got to look yourself in the eye from time to time
So Baby why not try, instead of just get by
You got to try, You got to try and try and try and try!
That's right, Go On, Get Along Now!
