Trying to Get to You (Live at Mid-South Coliseum, Memphis, TN, March 20, 1974) Lyrics

I've been travelling over mountains
Even through the valleys, too
I've been travelling 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 travelling 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 you put me through
I kept travelling night and day
I kept running 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
