He's A Tryer - Chris Ledoux

He’s a rider, keeps ridin' all he can 'cause he’s a tryer

Keeps tryin' all he can, 'cause he never seems to know he’s had enough

And it gets rough

He’s been boozin'.

He ain’t a drunk, he’s just forgettin' that he’s loosin'

Forgettin' pain his mind and body feels, and he needs a meal

He’ll keep tryin' 'cause he still recalls the days when it paid off

When he was winning;

you can bet he won a lot more that he lost

He ain’t no quitter, no one can talk him out of movin' on

'Cause he’s a tryer, and he’s damn sure, his second chance’ll come before to

long

He’s a cowboy.

He’s country bred and strong, yeah, he’s a cowboy

And he’d rather take the pain than face the shame and face the judge deep down

inside

Well it’s just pride

So he’ll keep goin', keep tryin' hard to ride instead of throwin'

'Cause he just won’t admit he’s growing old

The thought’s too cold

He’ll keep tryin' 'cause he still recalls the days when it paid off

When he was winning;

you can bet he won a lot more that he lost

He ain’t no quitter, no one can talk him out of movin' on

'Cause he’s a tryer, and he’s damn sure, his second chance’ll come before to

long

Yeah he’s a tryer, and he’s damn sure, his second chance’ll come before to long
