From the recording Across a Carnival
He may be damaged goods, but at least he's trying. Definitely no bitterness, no way. Duet with Rebecca Hall and featuring Lissa Schneckenburger on fiddle.
Lyrics
Oh, honey I’m trying, just to get along
I hear you crying, you think I’m wrong
Been a little bent too far, you ain’t lying
I may be broke now, honey I’m trying
Always waited around for you
argued when the sky was blue
I took your hand
took your smile
With a crooked man I’ll walk mile
Oh, honey I’m trying, just to get along
I hear you crying, you think I’m wrong
Been a little bent too far, you ain’t lying
I may be broke now, honey I’m trying
Never had a lonely day
just that time you left in May
took my heart, took my money
I’m standing on the side that’s always sunny
Oh, honey I’m trying, just to get along
I hear you crying, you think I’m wrong
Been a little bent too far, you ain’t lying
I may be broke now, honey I’m trying
I may be broke now, but I’m still buying
