I ain't rich yet, but I'm trying

Laying back in my bed
Looking up it's so lonely
Looking back growing up
I wish someone woulda told me
Life's a pack of cards,
So play 'em well till your old
See, we used to dream so big
But what happened to that kid

Work hard keep your head down
That's how she raised me
I'm trying hard to break out
Of this cage that enslaves me
With no tie and no suit so they calling me lazy
Just words and my guitar
I hope they break these bars

I ain't rich yet, but I'm trying,
I said I'm really, really trying
Just bear with me
Yeah, 'cause I ain't giving up, giving up

When sometimes your closest expect you to fail them,
When whispers far away are wishing you well
It seems the only way to heaven seems to go through hell
And I'll wait patiently but would you wait for me?

You work hard, keep your head down
That's how my mother raised me
I'm trying hard to break out of this cage
That enslaves my mind
With no tie and no shirt so they calling me lazy
Just words and my guitar, I hope they break these bars

I ain't rich yet, but I'm trying,
I said I'm really, really trying
Just bear with me
Yeah, 'cause I ain't giving up, giving up

To see my name in lights ain't the only thing
I'm wishing on a star
And I'm thinking 'bout the future,
It's not just me it's all of us
But all I need is your trust

And I ain't rich yet, but I'm trying,
I said I'm really, really trying
Just bear with me
Yeah, 'cause I ain't giving up, giving up
