Tried And Tempted

from Live at the Barn by The Wood Brothers

lyrics

I been thinkin’ ‘bout dropping out
and lettin’ this old river
spit me into the sea.
do you remember when I sold you my soul
now that it’s getting kinda old
won’t you sell it back to me

I’ve been tried and tempted
tried and tempted
tried and tempted
tried and tempted

well 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
they fight me nail and tooth

CHORUS

I’d like to be the wind
don’t wanna be the sail
I’d like to be the train
not the rail
I’d like to be the train
not the rail

CHORUS
