"Try (Live In NY)" lyrics - LAWRENCE

[Intro: Clyde Lawrence]
This song is called Try

[Verse 1: Clyde Lawrence]
We coulda done it
Girl, we nearly had it made
But near doesn't cut it
We ain't a horseshoe or a hand grenade
What is it you want me to say?

[Chorus: Clyde & Gracie Lawrence]
And I wish that we
We didn't have to try so hard, yeah
And how can this be?
We shouldn't have to try so hard

[Verse 2: Gracie & Clyde, Both]
Why do you reckon
Something's got a hold on me
Woah, maybe I need a second
To think a little differently
Who is it you want me to be?

[Chorus: Clyde & Gracie]
And I wish that we
We didn't have to try so hard
And how can this be?
We shouldn't have to try so hard

[Post-Chorus: Clyde & Gracie]
Try with me baby
Can we just try?
Can we just try?
Can we just try?
Can we just try?

[Interlude: Gracie & Clyde]
Can we get another hand for Huntertones opening up the night? C'mon!
Um, I'd like to invite our very good friend and collaborator, John Lampley from Huntertones, onto the stage, to take a little solo for us
C'mon, John
Alright everyone, ready?
Alright, let's start real small ready?

[Trumpet solo: John Lampley]
John Lampley!

[Chorus: Clyde, Gracie, Both]
And I wish that we
We didn't have to try so hard
And how can this be?
We shouldn't have to try so hard
No we shouldn't have to try (No)
And I wish that we
We didn't have to try so hard (No, we didn't have to try so hard)
How can this be?
We shouldn't have to try so hard
Oh, try with me baby

[Post-chorus: Clyde, Gracie, Both]
Try
Can we just try, mhm (Ooh)
Can we just try, mmm
Can we just try?

[Outro: Clyde & John Lampley]
Thank you, guys
John Lampley on the trumpet from Huntertones
One more time for Lawrence y'all, c'mon
