Trace Adkins - I'm Tryin'

[@pecosvalleychief]

This song once ripped my heart out because I was living it. Fortunately that was long ago. Eventually my kids grew up and I never lost them and I've now found the love of my life. This song reminds me of how far I've come.

So, I was incarcerated back in 2003, was doing a year sentence. I was finally sent to work release after a year and it was while at work release I first heard this song and it hit me straight gut,/heart. I hadn't heard any music in a year and wasn't a huge Country fan but...BAM! I'll NEVER, EVER, forget this song and how it inspired me.

I raised my 3 by myself, with a 2nd "husband" who kept leaving us repeatedly. So couldn't count on him...God won't fail you. Read Psalm 68:5. "A father of the fatherless, and a judge (defender) of widows, is God in his holy habitation. I raised my children to look to God to meet their needs, & I looked to him for the provision & protection a husband is supposed to provide. Once a man leaves his wife & children, for ANY reason, God steps in. He loves us orphans & widows. (& when the man "puts you away with a bill of divorcement" you are a widow. Trust God. He won't fail you. Not ever. ❤🙏

Sometimes, despite all of our best efforts, intentions and prayers - we screw up, we fail, we miss the mark, we disappoint and we sin. Ideally, we would be forgiven for our shortcomings and loved despite our imperfection. Unfortunately, we know that this is rarely the case. Truly, all you can you is all you can do. Love of the heart is rare - trust in God, love deeply, accept opening and you will receive the same - but not from all. Sad truth! Just keep tryin' - its all you can do sometimes.

U wouldn't believe unless u was here

[@Georgialoveschristmas]

Words cant describe how amazing this song is! :)

[@tacgrp]

This is one of Trace's BEST songs, why so little views? That's a shame!

[@MaryTaylor-gj6mi]

I love Trace's music. His is the voice of the common man or woman. He seems like the kind of guy you could sit down for a drink, a penny ante type poker game and swap stories.

I am very surprised of how people can pay so much attention to everything in your life, put you down so much, even the things you try to do good isn't enough! You slip, you fall, and get back up to keep trying, but they are right there to kick you with their words, right back down! But Im Trying!

[@diannameade4848]

I've had it rough most of my life,but I will never give up or stop trying.You can look around and see someone else in worse shape than you're in.

I'm living this. This is my life and moms gone and I pull double shifts while taking care of a daughter. The work just never ends and there's no end in site.

I thought my life was through last year at this time.....I had insurmountable odds that faced me! But I held on ...and I got up when I fell...and now I am running!

[@daddylee4216]

at 44 my favorite part of this video is at 3:55.. the look of a man facing the truth and wondering how it came to be..breaks my heart...

[@goatbut29]

This song IS America and shows the grit and determination we all wake up to each day as we keep on tryin'. The older you get, the harder the morning rise. Who you love is the motivation to RISE. If not for you NOW, for them, cause that's what Americans do!

[@Barcodum]

Been trying for 30 years. No further than back 5hen , but (for some reason) I’m trying.

I love the "there's always a mountain in front of me" at 4:02

Trying, working and always praying to the Creator to help me be a better man.

Live is never easy you have to climb many mountains and valleys before you reach your goals. That is a f.... normal process but your song trace naild it once more , because it is what your boss wanted from you anytime , anywhere right? But we are all human beings. With heart and minds and a soul. AMEN

[@JusDuckie]

-very unusual to see a music video like this one: all plain, everyday-looking people and realistic sets...no glitz, no glam...very impressive.

[@michaelodonnell5065]

I work 6 12 hour shifts a week and do the best I can for my kids. Sometimes it can be hard but we have to keep trying. Strive for improvement not perfection

[@johnwheater3718]

The biggest regret in life is not failing; it's not trying.
