Try to be And I know that I ain't been right And I know I spend too much time, caught up in the prior And the preamble of my mind But I've been tryin' to get brave And I've been hopin' that you can't see, 'cause y' know I'd like to be more in your eyes Then some born-again dreamer gettin' high And I try, try, try, try to be I try, I try, I... Try to be
