Yeah I'm just tryin to make it right

But I'm cuttin it close both day and night



Tryin to work hard the best I can

Get myself together get a little bit ahead

But when the blood comes outta my hands

What I done starts to get to my head



It's hard to make a good livin

When you're just barely alive

But I can say for sure

That what I have is all mine



Just tryin to make it right

Cuttin it close both day and by night



Livin out dreams of bein on top

But my head is hurtin and it won't stop

Echoes of yesterday are still in my head

Tonight I'll play it out through my hands



Just takin one day at a time

Always just tryin to get on through

Each day is spent tryin to get by

Tryin to figure out what I'm gonna do



There's no time I can spare

But I seem to do a lot of that

But it's not like we really care

So I'll just keep walkin my own way



I'm still tryin to make it right

And cuttin it close both day and night



Used to play outside in the pourin rain

Walkin in worn out shoes day in and day out

Sometimes I long for those days once again

But I can't go back if I want to be up top



Many friends I've left down the line

You went your way and I stayed behind

Many miles gave me time to think

This dream I have I think I'm gonna keep



Still try to make things right

Cuttin it close both day and night

I'll keep tryin just to make it right

Cuttin it close both day and by night
