The Cannonballers cover
04. Trying to Survive
Album: The Cannonballers
Artist: Colony House
         
 

It ain't easy making money these days
It ain't easy keeping friends that stick around

Cheap smile like a lemonade stand
I ain't sellin' a drop
Loose change in the palm of my hands
Trying to come out on top

Aren't we all in the same boat
Taking on water
Yeah, we're all in the same boat

Tired of trying to survive
Tired of fighting for my life
I'm just like anybody anywhere
Navigating complicated times
But I'm trying to survive

Straight face and I do what I can
Yeah, I keep it on lock
But on the inside
I'm in a riptide
Trying to keep my head up

Don't we all share the same space livin' and dyin'
We all come from the same place

Tired of trying to survive
Tired of fighting for my life
I'm just like anybody anywhere
Navigating complicated times
But I'm trying to survive
Yeah, we're all trying to survive

It ain't easy making money these days
It ain't easy keeping friends that stick around
It ain't easy, it ain't easy

But I'm trying to survive
Yeah, I'm fighting for my life
I'm just like anybody anywhere
Looking for a purpose here
Navigating complicated times
I'm just like everybody

Trying to survive
Tired of fighting for my life
I'm just like anybody anywhere
Navigating complicated times
But I'm trying to survive

I'm just trying
I'm just trying
I'm just trying
Trying to survive
I'm just trying
I'm just trying
I'm just trying
