Well, I never paid the rent

And I never paid no telephone bill

And I ain't never had a job

And I'm glad and I hope I never will

But my mom yesterday

She asked me how I was doin'

I said I'm pretty good

But I don't know if I'm gonna eat today

I don't know if I'm gonna eat today

But I'm gonna try

I'm gonna try, try, try, try, try, try

I'm gonna try, I'm gonna try

I swear to God, I'm gonna try

Well, I saw John Fogerty, and a beautiful girl in Camden

They were lookin' so fine

And their lives were so together

And me, I couldn't afford a cup of coffee

To cure my hangover

You know, it made me think

Oh, lord, it made me think about everything

Made me think this life, I'm gonna try

Oh, I'm gonna try

Yes, gonna try, try, try, try, try, try

Well, I'm gonna try, yes

Well, I'm gonna try, try, try

Well, I'm gonna try, try-try-try

Well, I'm gonna try, try-try-try

Well, I'm gonna try, try-try-try

I'm gonna try, try-try-try

Whoa, I'm gonna try, try-try-try

Try-try-try

Try-try-try

Try-try-try (I'm gonna try, I'm gonna try)

I'm gonna try, try-try-try

Try-try-try
