lyrics

TRY FOR THE SUN aka SURF TUNE
Music & Lyrics by Christy

I don't know what you've been doing
I've been doing all that I can
You're runnin' round over town
You're sayin' that I ain't quite a man

But I don't think you know what I've done
And that's why I try for the sun
Yeah, i try for the sun

Try for the sun

Minos trims the heroes wings
And Helios he shortens our ride
And if i had to be like you
Well inside i'd feel like I died

Can't you see that your course has run
But my life was shot from a gun
So I try for the sun

Try for the sun
I live for the sun
Aim for the sun
