Lyrics
Can't Died In The House Of Trying
(©2010 Beckley/Hurst)
Way too many years ago when I was just a tyke
I thought the world had ended when the chain came off my bike
I tried and tried, then cried out, "Mama, I can't make it stay"
And as the tears streamed down my face, I heard my mama say
(Chorus):
Can't died in the house of trying
No excuses and no more cryin'
That's the truth, honey, I ain't lying
Can't died in the house of trying
The years rolled by and there I was, under my first car
A broke-down fixer-upper that I couldn't get to start
With knuckles caked in grease and blood and bruises on my head
I threw that wrench across the floor and that's when daddy said
(Chorus):
Can't died in the house of trying
No excuses and no more cryin'
That's the truth, buddy, I ain't lying
Can't died in the house of trying
Now we're lying back to back, not sure how long we'll last
Two selfish, grown-up kids whose dream of love is fading fast
We can't agree on anything except how much it hurts
I reach across the bed for you and fumble for these words
(Chorus):
Can't died in the house of trying
No excuses and no more cryin'
That's the truth, baby, I ain't lying
Can't died in the house of trying
Can't died in the house of trying
