keeps ridin' all he can 'cause he's a tryer
'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
his second chance'll come before to long. he's a cowboy. he's country bred and strong
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. yeah he's a tryer
his second chance'll come before to long
