Tryin' - Pam Tillis

One in a million mama that’s good enough for me And you can’t make me stay here anyway now that I’m 18

With everything she had in a duffle bag she set out to show the world

She was more then just a homecoming queen and daddy’s little girl

In a cloud of dust on a Greyhound bus she crossed the Cook County line

Slept all the way to Nashville, big dreams running through her mind

She said sure as I’m breathing I’m gonna be a big someday

Yeah, she was jumping right into the deep end on a leap of sweet blind faith

It’s about hoping

It’s about dreaming

It’s about never not believing

It’s about taking a walk on the wire and never looking down

It’s about living instead of dying

It’s about spreading your wings and flying

Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's all about tryin'

It’s been six years since she left home and she hasn’t made it big yet

Oh but there’s no second guessing baby, she's got no regrets

She still works late shift down at the Greasy Spoon cafe

When she brings you out your milkshake you just might hear her say

It’s about hoping

It’s about dreaming

It’s about never not believing

It’s about taking a walk on the wire and never looking down

It’s about living instead of dying

It’s about spreading your wings and flying

Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's all about tryin'

It’s not whether you win or lose

It’s getting in the game

It’s about hoping

It’s about dreaming

It’s about never not believing

It’s about taking a walk on the wire and never looking down

It’s about living instead of dying

It’s about spreading your wings and flying

Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's all about tryin'

It’s about hoping

It’s about dreaming

It’s about never not believing

It’s about taking a walk out on the wire and never looking down

It’s all about tryin'
