Pam Tillis

Tryin'

Pam Tillis


In a cloud of dust 
on a greyhound bus
she crossed the cook county line.
Slept all the way to nashville
big dreams running through her mind.
She said sure as Im breathing 
I'm gonna be a big star some day
She was jumping into the deep end
on a leap of sweet blind faith.

Chorus 

It's about hoping It's about dreaming 
It's about never not- believeing
It's about taking a walk out on the wire 
and never looking down.
It's about living instead of dying
It's about spreading your wings and flying
Its all about trying
oh yeah

It's been six years gone 
since she left home
and she hasn't made it big yet.
Oh but theres no second guessing
baby, she's got no regrets.
She still works the late shift down 
at the Greasy Spoon Cafe
and when she brings you out your milkshake
Honey, well you just might hear her say...

(Chorus)

It's about hoping It's about dreaming 
It's about never not- believeing
It's about taking a walk out on the wire 
and never looking down.
It's about living instead of dying
It's about spreading your wings and flying
Its all about trying
oh yeah

It's not wheather you win or lose its 
getting in the game
once you set your wings in motion
well you'll never be the same

repeat chorus
