Tryin` To Get There Lyrics

(David Lee Murphy/Waylon Jennings)



Well I’ve been up on the high road

Spent some time on the low road

Seen a little bit of it all if you know what I mean

From pickup trucks to limousines

Yeah I’ve made some turns Lord that took me out of the way

Been more than a few times that I wound up in the wrong place just 



Tryin’ to get there

Sometimes that ain’t easy

When you really don’t know where that is

But I’ve learned along the way

That we’re all lookin’ for the same thing

And I’m tryin’ to get there oh the best I can 



Growin’ up’s been tough on me

I still don’t know what I wanna be

I hope the good Lord understands

There’s times I need a helping hand

‘Cause I’ll take the long way to find the short way round

And just like everybody I’m tryin’ to reach a higher ground but
I’m 



Tryin’ to get there

Sometimes that ain’t easy

When you really don’t know where that is

But I’ve learned along the way

That we’re all lookin’ for the same thing

And I’m tryin’ to get there oh the best I can 



Tryin’ to get there

Sometimes that ain’t easy

When you really don’t know where that is

But I’ve learned along the way

That we’re all lookin’ for the same thing

And I’m tryin’ to get there oh the best I can 



Yeah I’ve made some turns Lord that took me out of the way

Been more than a few times that I wound up in the wrong place just 



Tryin’ to get there

Sometimes that ain’t easy

When you really don’t know where that is

But I’ve learned along the way

That we’re all lookin’ for the same thing

And I’m tryin’ to get there oh the best I can
