Ready To Try Lyrics

I drove out to Nashville in the pourin' rain
With revolution in the air
With just my guitar my dog and my tape machine
I thought I might have some luck out there
'cause I was ready to try anything
Maybe my life was somewhere waiting
I had nothin' to lose and less to bring
I was ready to try almost anything

I spent my first night there
With a friend of mine
She was from that old party set
I unpacked my bags
And all I couldn't leave behind
As it turned out I never left

Chorus
She's a good girl, loves Jesus like the song says
And through my madness
My heart began to say yes...YES!

One day she brought me
To her childhood church
Old time religion filled the air
The preacher said you're saved
By faith and not by works
I thought „that's good
'cause I haven't worked in a year"
But I was ready to try anything
Maybe my life is right here waiting
I've got nothin' to lose and less to bring
I was ready to try almost anything

I was ready to try anything
(don't want to be a lock to the door)
Maybe my life is right here waiting
(don't want to be a latch to the window)
I've got nothin' to lose and less to bring
I was ready to try almost anything
