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
