"Tryin' Times" lyrics - NITTY GRITTY DIRT BAND

If my feet don't fail and my heart gets well
I'll be out of here by noon
Packin' my load on the road, you can colour me gone.

Settlin' in for a long hard ride
Miss you sittin' on the shotgun side
Difficult journey when your navigator is gone.

It's trying times when the ill winds blow
Trying times when the rivers don't flow
Trying times when the heartbreak starts to show.

Trying times when you pack it all up
Trying times when the going gets tough
Trying times when you lose somebody you love
Lose somebody you love.

The sun's coming up on the Interstate now
In the Eastboud lane, I'm facin' the crowd
Wishing I could jump up out of this traffic and fly.

Got a pain in my heart and I'm flat on my back
Like a blind horse walkin' down a railroad track
I didn't know nothing till the train came whistlin' by.

It's trying times when the ill winds blow
Trying times when the rivers don't flow
Trying times when the heartbreak starts to show.

Trying times when you pack it all up
Trying times when the going gets tough
Trying times when you lose somebody you love
Lose somebody you love.

Trying time
Trying time
Trying time
Trying time.
