Oh oh oh
When I was a young
Boy my mama told me
Son, life gets hard
So you gotta have faith
Now many years are gone
And I'm broke and alone
There must be
A better place than this
I've tried, I've tried
I've tried in many ways
I guess this time
I'll pray for better days
I've tried, I've tried
I've tried in my own ways
I guess this time I'll pray
When I was growing up
Life was never easy
Had to learn real fast
How to be a man
In young garments
There must be
A better place than this
There must be
A better place than this
I've tried, I've tried
I've tried in many ways
I guess this time
I'll pray for better days
I've tried, I've tried
I've tried in my own ways
I guess this time I'll pray
I've tried, I've tried
I've tried in many ways
I guess this time
I'll pray for better days
I've tried, I've tried
I've tried in my own ways
I just guess this time I'll pray
