She's Trying (Live)
You know you brought your girl up well
So well that everyone can always tell that you had some work to do
Thought she'd get the best of you
I'm glad that you never gave up on her, or shut the door, or sent her away
You didn't know what else to say, but you loved her
You knew that she'd have to go
And told her all the things she never wanted to know
Because she already knew everything, didn't she?
And so, you kicked her out into the bright light, and of course it started a fight
But it would be the last
Because she's trying, she's trying
Trying hard to do what you taught her to
She's trying, she's trying
Trying hard to be what you want her to
You know you brought your girl up well
So well the day she came and told you she fell in love, and packed her bags
You hid your smile, didn't laugh
You sat her down and told her the rules in love
Watch your back and trust no one
And most of all, just don't forget to get a prenup
And then when she went away
And came running back the very next day
You didn't tell her that you told her so
Even though you knew that she'd have to skin and break her own leg
And of course you feel it to pick her up, it'd be enough
Because she's trying, she's trying
Trying hard to do what you taught her to
She's trying, she's trying
Trying hard to be what you want her to
You know you brought your girl up well
So well that even though she put you through hell
You'd figure it was worth it, even though it wasn't perfect
I'm glad that you never gave up on her
Or shut the door, or sent her away
You didn't know what else to say, but you loved her
You knew that she'd have to go
And told her all the things she never wanted to know
Because she already knew everything, didn't she?
And so, you kicked her out into the bright light, and of course it started a fight
But it would be the last
Because she's trying, she's trying
Trying hard to do what you taught her to
She's trying, she's trying
Trying hard to be what you want her to
So well that everyone can always tell that you had some work to do
Thought she'd get the best of you
I'm glad that you never gave up on her, or shut the door, or sent her away
You didn't know what else to say, but you loved her
You knew that she'd have to go
And told her all the things she never wanted to know
Because she already knew everything, didn't she?
And so, you kicked her out into the bright light, and of course it started a fight
But it would be the last
Because she's trying, she's trying
Trying hard to do what you taught her to
She's trying, she's trying
Trying hard to be what you want her to
You know you brought your girl up well
So well the day she came and told you she fell in love, and packed her bags
You hid your smile, didn't laugh
You sat her down and told her the rules in love
Watch your back and trust no one
And most of all, just don't forget to get a prenup
And then when she went away
And came running back the very next day
You didn't tell her that you told her so
Even though you knew that she'd have to skin and break her own leg
And of course you feel it to pick her up, it'd be enough
Because she's trying, she's trying
Trying hard to do what you taught her to
She's trying, she's trying
Trying hard to be what you want her to
You know you brought your girl up well
So well that even though she put you through hell
You'd figure it was worth it, even though it wasn't perfect
I'm glad that you never gave up on her
Or shut the door, or sent her away
You didn't know what else to say, but you loved her
You knew that she'd have to go
And told her all the things she never wanted to know
Because she already knew everything, didn't she?
And so, you kicked her out into the bright light, and of course it started a fight
But it would be the last
Because she's trying, she's trying
Trying hard to do what you taught her to
She's trying, she's trying
Trying hard to be what you want her to
