tried to rock

i tried to rock

i tried to rock

and still i tried to rock

i did not try to fail

i did not fail to see

that what it takes to rock

is that which i have not

i didn't try for such a long time

i didn't try so very hard

maybe i could have been more focused

you see

i wanted to be blind

i tried to rock

i grew my hair

my walls were bare

i had one red wine glass

it was self fulfilling

i had four girlfriends

no visible means of support

i lived on credit card rye bread

and maybe i should have tried in memphis

maybe i should have stayed home

maybe i should have taken a little something

you know

i wasn't even stoned

when i tried to rock

and if you think i let you down

and if i called you babe

i didn't mean to say that you were just a babe

babe

you're such a babe

i lay down here

i woke up over there

i lay me down somewhere else

i guess i needed to

try on something new

i tried to no avail

i guess i'm glad i failed
