about

"The only way to fail is to quit tryin'", this is. a love story about two traveling musicians their hopes, dreams, struggles and doubts. Whatever dream you are chasing in life, the thing that matters most are the people by your side with whom you share the experience.

lyrics

Left Mississippi headed for Nashville Tennessee
Two kids their guitars in an old Chevy
Played every dive bar in Dixie Land
Honky tonk mama and her guitar man
We were sleeping in the back seat of your car
You said live simple and dream hard
Keep your eye on the prize
Our love is ride or die

Is it too late for us to make it
If we try too hard can we break it
With you by my side I’d be willing to fake it
I’ll sing it one more time under the bar room lights
Dreamin’ that we’ll make it

I said baby I’m tired and I wanna' go home
You said come on baby I can’t do this alone
I ain’t ever been known for lying
The only way to fail is to quit trying

Is this about us or this about you?
Finishing what you started out to do
How do you know when it’s time to let go?
Turn around, get a straight job and go home?

They say some folks have it and some folks don't
And if you don't already have it, then you won't
But you, you were born with everything god had to give babe
So don't apologize to me, ain't nothin’ to forgive

So when you wanna' smash your guitar on stage
And you ain't got a damn thing left to say
Your pockets empty and your Levis torn
I'll be the one in the back row begging for the encore

Is it too late for us to make it
If we try too hard can we break it
With you by my side I’d be willing to fake it
I’ll sing it one more time under the bar room lights

One more time under the bar room lights
Yeah, one more time, under the bar room lights
Dreamin' that we’ve made it
