Tryin’ to Get to You

I’ve been travelin’ over mountains
Even through the valleys too
I’ve been travelin’ night and day
I’ve been runnin’ all the way
Baby tryin’ to get to you
Ever since I read your letter
Where you said you loved me true
I’ve been travelin’ night and day
I’ve been runnin’ all the way
Baby tryin’ to get to you

When I read your lovin’ 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 travelin’ night and day
I kept runnin’ all the way
Baby tryin’ 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
I’d be runnin’ all the way
Baby tryin’ to get to you

Well there is nothin’ that could hold me
Or that could keep me away from you
When you’re lovin’ 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 tryin’ to get to you

I’ve been travelin’ night and day
I’ve been runnin’ all the way
Baby tryin’ to get to you
