Tried and Tempted - The Wood Brothers

Well I been thinkin' 'bout droppin' out

And lettin' this old river sweep me into the sea

Do you remember when I sold you my soul?

My God, it’s gettin' kinda old won’t you sell it back to me?

I been tried and tempted

Tried and tempted

Tried and tempted

Tried and tempted

I been thinkin' 'bout turnin' round

And headin' up the stream to climb a mountain of youth

Do you remember when I opened up your box and let the demons out

Invite me never to I been tried and tempted

Tried and tempted

Tried and tempted

And it’s hard to be strong when you’re tried and tempted too long

Well it’s hard to be strong when you’re tried and you’re tempted too long

Well I’d like to be the wind

Don’t want to be the sail

I’d like to be the train not the rail

I’d like to be the train not the rail

I been tried and tempted

And it’s hard to be strong when you’re tried and tempted too long
