Lyrics:

from the movie Crazy Heart
Bridges earned the 2009 Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance in the filmI’ve been loved
And I’ve been alone
All my life I’ve been a rollin’ stone
Done everything that a man can do
Everything but get a hold on you
Done everything that a man can do
Everything but get a hold on you
I’ve been blessed
And I’ve been cursed
All my lies have been unrehearsed
A wall of fire that I’ve walked through
Only tryin’ to get a hold on you
A wall of fire that I walked through
Only tryin’ to get a hold on you
I saw you waitin’ at the gate
But I arrived a moment late
I saw you shed a single tear
And still I can’t get there from here
I’ve been high
And I’ve been low
I’ve been people that I don’t know
Been to China and old Peru
Only tryin’ to get a hold on you

Been to China and to Peru
I’m only tryin’ to get a hold on you
Only tryin’ to get a hold on you
