This is a anthemic song about never giving up. I cowrote the words and music, the music is all BIAB. My brother and I play as the Mattox Brothers. I posted this once before as a solo, but I have added harmonies to the mix.

Never Stop Trying
Ken Mattox/Steve Mattox

Bury me on the lone prairie; face down where my friends can see that I’m gone
Let the angels watch over me, let them sing out in jubilee that I’m home
Maybe they can shine their light on me; maybe this can be my eulogy

I keep my six guns dry; I keep my head held low
I keep my eyes open wide, not afraid to show
That I loved and I laughed, but I never stopped trying
That I gave all I had and I never stopped trying

Hold my wife, if you see her crying, let her know that I was a fighter, now I’m gone
Let her know I’m always by her side, like an eagle I was born to fly

I keep my six guns dry; I keep my head held low
I keep my eyes open wide, not afraid to show
That I loved and I laughed, but I never stopped trying
That I gave all I had and I never stopped trying

Let the church bells ring out a symphony
Let the choirs sing out in majesty

I keep my six guns dry; I keep my head held low
I keep my eyes open wide, not afraid to show
That I loved and I laughed, but I never stopped trying
That I gave all I had and I never stopped trying

I keep my six guns dry; I keep my head held low
I keep my eyes open wide, not afraid to show
That I loved and I laughed, but I never stopped trying
That I gave all I had and I never stopped trying

That I loved and I laughed, but I never stopped trying
That I gave all I had and I never stopped trying

That I loved and I laughed, but I never stopped trying
That I gave all I had and I never stopped trying
