Neal Morse - Ready To Try lyrics

I drove out to Nashville in the pouring rain With revolution in the air With just my guitar, my dog and my tape machine I thought I might have some luck out there 'Cause I was ready to try anything Maybe my life was somewhere waiting I had nothing to lose and less to bring I was ready to try almost anything I spent my first night there with a friend of mine She was from that old party set I unpacked my bags and all I couldn't leave behind As it turned out I never left And I was ready to try anything Maybe my life was somewhere waiting I had nothing to lose and less to bring I was ready to try almost anything She's a good girl Loves Jesus like the song says And through my madness My heart began to say yes, yes One day she brought me to her childhood church Old time religion filled the air The preacher said you're saved by faith and not by works I thought "that's good 'cause I haven't worked in a year" But I was ready to try anything Maybe my life is right here waiting I've got nothing to lose and less to bring I was ready to try almost anything I was ready to try anything (Don't want to be a lock to the door) Maybe my life is right here waiting (Don't want to be a latch to the window) I've got nothing to lose and less to bring I was ready to try almost anything
