Trying to do right
But he don't understand
Prays every night to Jesus
But he lusts for a man
His daddy says its wrong
And he'll burn up in hell
But the feeling's too strong
Where his heart likes to dwell
He keeps falling
But lord knows he tries
He's trying to do right
But he don't understand
Will he resist those feelings
Or is the devil at hand
He's trying to do right
But he don't understand
For the wages of sin
Is God's curse to man
He keeps falling
But lord knows he tries
He's trying to do right
But he don't understand
Trying to do right
