Ready To Try

I drove out to Nashville in the pouring rainWith revolution in the airWith just my guitar, my dog and my tape machineI thought I might have some luck out there'Cause I was ready to try anythingMaybe my life was somewhere waitingI had nothing to lose and less to bringI was ready to try almost anythingI spent my first night there with a friend of mineShe was from that old party setI unpacked my bags and all I couldn't leave behindAs it turned out I never leftAnd I was ready to try anythingMaybe my life was somewhere waitingI had nothing to lose and less to bringI was ready to try almost anythingShe's a good girlLoves Jesus like the song saysAnd through my madnessMy heart began to say yes, yesOne day she brought me to her childhood churchOld time religion filled the airThe preacher said you're saved by faith and not by worksI thought "that's good 'cause I haven't worked in a year"But I was ready to try anythingMaybe my life is right here waitingI've got nothing to lose and less to bringI was ready to try almost anythingI 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 bringI was ready to try almost anything
