“60 Car Lengths”

Written by Daniel

Drivin’ down
The central boulevard
I got 12 tanks of gas
And I’m going real far

I don’t know where I’m going
But I got this map
In my mind
And I tried
But I’m sorry
But I tried
And I tried
And I tried
But I’m tired
And I tried

And I tried
Oh, how I tried?

Slowin’ down
Drunken eyes to defend
I got sixty car lengths
‘Tween me and the end.

I don’t know what I’m doing
But I got this gap
In my mind
When I tried
But I’m sorry
But I tried
And I tried
And I tried
But I’m tired
But I tried

And I tried
Oh, how I tried?
AND I TRIED!
OH, HOW I TRIED!

Even now
In a cold hotel
Just a month and a year
I’ll get out of this hell

I thought I could save this
But I got this thought
In my mind
When I tried
But I’m sorry
That I tried
And I tried
And I tried
But I’m tired
But I tried

Did I try?
And did you try?

Drivin’ down
That black boulevard
Where a man holds her hands
As he sits in her car

And I guess she looks happy
But I had this surge in my mind
‘Cause I tried
And I’m happy
That I tried
“Cause I tried
And I tried
But I’m still sorry
That I lied

But I tried
Oh, how I tried?

AND I TRIED!
OH, HOW I TRIED!
