Lyrics He's A Tryer - Chris Ledoux

He's A Tryer

He’s a rider, keeps ridin' all he can 'cause he’s a tryer
Keeps tryin' all he can, 'cause he never seems to know he’s had enough
And it gets rough
He’s been boozin'.
He ain’t a drunk, he’s just forgettin' that he’s loosin'
Forgettin' pain his mind and body feels, and he needs a meal
He’ll keep tryin' 'cause he still recalls the days when it paid off
When he was winning;
you can bet he won a lot more that he lost
He ain’t no quitter, no one can talk him out of movin' on
'Cause he’s a tryer, and he’s damn sure, his second chance’ll come before to
long
He’s a cowboy.
He’s country bred and strong, yeah, he’s a cowboy
And he’d rather take the pain than face the shame and face the judge deep down
inside
Well it’s just pride
So he’ll keep goin', keep tryin' hard to ride instead of throwin'
'Cause he just won’t admit he’s growing old
The thought’s too cold
He’ll keep tryin' 'cause he still recalls the days when it paid off
When he was winning;
you can bet he won a lot more that he lost
He ain’t no quitter, no one can talk him out of movin' on
'Cause he’s a tryer, and he’s damn sure, his second chance’ll come before to
long
Yeah he’s a tryer, and he’s damn sure, his second chance’ll come before to long
