Tried to Rock

I tried to rock

I tried to rock

And still I tried to rock

I did not try to fail

I did not fail to see

That what it takes to rock

Is that which I have not

I didn't try for such a long time

I didn't try so very hard

Maybe I could have been more focussed

You see, I wanted to be blind

I tried to rock

I grew my hair

My walls were bare

I had one red wine glass

It was self fulfilling

I had four girlfriends

No visible means of support

I lived on credit card rye bread

And maybe I should have tried in Memphis

Maybe I should have stayed home

Maybe I should have taken a little something

You know, I wasn't even stoned

When I tried to rock

And if you think I let you down

And if I called you babe

I didn't mean to say that you were just a babe

Babe, you're such a babe

I lay down here

I woke up over there

I lay me down somewhere else

I guess I needed to

try on something new

I tried to no avail

I guess I'm glad I failed
