I tried to smile
And lend a helping hand.
I was mistaken
`Cause I’m not that kind of man.
CHORUS
But she does
it read good.
But she does
it read good.
But she does
it read good.
I try to get up
And make a better day.
I try to shine on
Come whatever may.
I try to give all
To those who have the need
Some folks try harder
Just to plant another weed.
CHORUS
I try my level best
Just to get along.
I try to help the weak
When I’m feelin’ strong.
I tried confusion
And I tried harmony.
She tries illusion
TO sustain reality.
CHORUS
RETURN TO "A SONG
OF THE TIMES"
