Welcome to Try |
| I have been down in the valley of tears |
| I have stood on the highest peak |
| For the best part of a week |
| Battered and bruised I had pulled myself through |
| Every seen I would never repeat |
| I have hung out with the beasts of the field |
| And with them I’ve spent many long nights |
| Got in some awful bad fights |
| I came unstuck, I was down on my luck |
| And I’m still gettin' over the bites |
| Sounds of my own heart breaking, not to mention my mind |
| Nothing can hurt me, a small voice said into a mike, take a hike |
| No one will lead me astray anymore |
| You are welcome to try if you like |
| Welcome to try if you like |
| I had been down in the valley so long |
| I had almost run out of respect |
| Got in right up to my neck |
| Battered but wise to the truth and the lies |
| That no layman would ever accept |
| Reaching for all of the good things in life |
| Can provide some suprises I guess |
| It may be the way we are dressed |
| These threads that you see mean so little to me |
| They don’t count when they put us to rest |
| Late about dusk I would start to feel |
| One more day had been lost |
| Nothing I’d say ever seemed to convey |
| How I felt with that I have dealt |
| All of my children are healthy and sane |
| They may say anything that they like |
| Say anything that they like |
| Sitting alone in the Blue Ridge Saloon |
| Is no place for an angel to be |
| Ladies make faces at me |
| Battered but clean I had pulled my machine |
| Off the road, I was too tired to see |
| Wearing a smile like the rim of a cup |
| I will get down to my final point |
| There is no one left to annoint |
| And the sowing of seed was it good, yes indeed |
| It thrills me but only to a point |
| Use your imagination, try every trick in the book |
| My mother said with the life that I led I’d be broke |
| Holy smoke |
| All of my children are healthy and wise |
| They may say anything that they like |
| If they want ta preach and are not within reach |
| They may say anything that they like |
| Say anything that they like |
