Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I came home late again
Shoes still muddy at the door
Little note on the counter
Said, "Don't miss bedtime anymore"
She stood there with tired eyes
Like she knew before I spoke
And I felt ten feet tall
Then I felt my promises go broke
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm learnin' how to stay
Learnin' how to bend
How to say "I'm sorry"
And mean it in the end
[Chorus]
I'm tryin' to get it right
Tryin' to get it right
For the woman I love
For the kids in the night
I'm a broken man, baby
But I still hold tight
I'm tryin' to get it right
Tryin' to get it right
[Verse 2]
Found my son by the sink
With my old cap on his head
He said, "Dad, will you be here?"
Man, that one cut me dead
And my girl drew a house
With a crooked little roof
She colored in the windows
Like she was holdin' on to proof
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm learnin' how to stay
Learnin' how to bend
How to build back trust
One honest word again
[Chorus]
I'm tryin' to get it right
Tryin' to get it right
For the woman I love
For the kids in the night
I'm a broken man, baby
But I still hold tight
I'm tryin' to get it right
Tryin' to get it right
[Bridge]
If the pride don't kill me first
If the whiskey leaves my veins
I'll come home early
And I won't hide from all the blame
I'll lay my faults down easy
On that worn-out kitchen floor
And let your mercy meet me
Like it used to before
[Final Chorus]
I'm tryin' to get it right
Tryin' to get it right
For the woman I love
For the kids in the night
I'm a broken man, baby
But I still hold tight
I'm tryin' to get it right
Tryin' to get it right
