Song: Tryin' To Get To You

(words & music by c. singleton - r.m. mccoy)
I've been traveling over mountains
Even through the valleys, too
I've been traveling night and day
I've been running all the way
Baby, trying to get to you.

Ever since i read your letter
Where you said you loved me true
I've been traveling night and day
I've been running all the way
Baby, trying to get to you

When i read your loving letter
Then my heart began to sing
There were many miles between us,
But they didn't mean a thing.

I just had to reach you, baby,
In spite of all that i've been through.
I kept traveling night and day,
I kept running all the way,
Baby, trying to get to you.

Well if i had to do it over
That's exactly what i'd do,
I would travel night and day,
And i'd still run all the way,
Baby, trying to get to you.

Well, there's nothing that could hold me
Or that could keep me away from you
When your loving letter told me
That you really loved me true

Lord above me knows i love you
It was he who brought me through,
When my way was dark as night,
He would shine his brightest light,
When i was trying to get to you.
