I Keep On Tryin' lyrics

I don't care much for being a rich man
Want more for myself than that
Nothing's gonna keep me from my dreams

Momma, I'm tired of trying to adjust to your circ*mstantial love
On and on and on
I wasn't good enough

But I keep on tryin'
I keep on tryin'
Hope someday you'll believe in me like I believe in you
I keep on tryin'
I keep on tryin'
Hope someday you'll believe in me like I believe in you

Maybe I'll always want more
Maybe I'll never find what I'm looking for
What I'm looking for

I don't care much for being a poor man
Desperation won't suit me well
I can't find a fair way of succeeding

Momma, can you tell me why the world is such a lonely place?
If everyone is searching for peace and happiness
But I keep on tryin'
I keep on tryin'
Hope someday you'll believe in me like I believe in you
But I keep on tryin'
I keep on tryin'
Hope someday you'll believe in me like I believe in you

Maybe I'll never understand
Maybe I'll keep doing the best I can
The best I can
