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
