I Gotta Try
Music & Lyrics by Sharon Tucker
I’m staring out the windshield counting down the seconds till I see my first sunset
I’m playing with the radio, trying to find a song I know but I ain’t found one yet
Oh it’s a long road when you’re out here all alone
It’s been two hundred miles since I left home
I loaded up my dreams and every single thing I own is in this car
Driving out the memory of the words they said to me, you’ll never get that far
Oh it’s lonely when you’re not sure where you’re going
But I’ll stand tall and fight always knowing
(chorus)
I Gotta Try
Spread my wings and test the sky
I Gotta Try
Make it to the other side
There’ll be tough times but I know I’ll get by
I Gotta Try
Settled in my new town, started making calls around, looking for my big break
No matter where it is I go, all I ever hear is no, but I got memories to make
Oh it’s a long climb up that hill when you’re brand new
But in my heart there’s a dream that I’m tied to
(chorus)
(bridge)
Dreams are what make us real
Chasing them make us feel
(chorus-modified)
I Gotta Try
Spread my wings and test the sky
I Gotta Try
Make it to the other side
There’ll be tough times but I know I’ll get by
There’ll be tough times but I know I’ll get by
I Gotta Try
I Gotta Try
