Trying So Hard to Forget

You know life can be so sad
Sometimes you just sit right down, and you cry
You know life can be so sad
Sometimes you just sit right down, and you cry

Sometimes your luck it gets so bad
Maybe you'd be better off if you should die

I've tried so hard not to remember
Baby, I've tried so hard to forget
I've tried so hard not to remember
People, I've tried so hard to forget

I can't stop my mind wandering
Back to the days I was just a down trodden kid

Some folks get such a good life
You know, they just get on that big train, and they ride
Some folks get such a good life
You know, they just get on that big train, and they ride

I would spend most of my days
Running and hiding from the world outside

If I ever get to heaven
You know, that sure would ease my worried mind
Ever get to heaven
You know, that sure would ease my worried mind

When I find that place in the sky
People, I'm gonna leave this old world behind
